Root Cause Failure Analysis

Weld Crack in Steel Pipe

Fatigue Cracks in Welded Steel Components

We assess fatigue-related damage in welded metal structures subjected to cyclic loading or harsh environments. This steel weld exhibited cracks due to poor weld quality and stress concentrations. Our root cause evaluations support effective repair and redesign decisions for high-performance components.

Corroded Flange Connection

Corrosion-Induced Failure in Mechanical Systems

Corrosion silently degrades joints and flanges in industrial assemblies. We analyze:

  • Material loss from corrosion
  • Stress corrosion cracking
  • Seal integrity and failure modes

Our evaluations guide manufacturers and maintenance teams in extending service life and reducing unplanned downtime.

Corrosion and Fatigue in Piping Systems

The painted columns show classic signs of degradation: rust, peeling, and surface wear. Combined with environmental exposure and poor anchoring, this creates a high risk of fatigue damage under cyclic loads. We provide insight into long-term performance risks and targeted maintenance strategies.
