Failure analysis or investigation is the process of collecting and analysing facts or data to determine the root cause of a failure. This involves collecting data about operating conditions, visual examination of the failed product or component, fractography, non-destructive testing, evaluation of mechanical and chemical properties, metallography-microscopy, spectroscopy, analysis of the facts and findings, root cause conclusion and recommendations to prevent the failure from recurring.
This process is very vital for heavy industries to prevent failure of affordable and unaffordable components which can cost loss of production in thousands and millions of dollars or injuring person or community.
The process of identifying the root cause and implementing preventive actions reduces the risk of injuries, reduces the downtime and increases productivity in the mining industries, offshore and shipping industry and heavy engineering industries.
Most of the quality endorsed organisations and insurance companies ensure that failure investigations are performed to reduce the risk of failure in future.
The image is a high magnification (around 5000X) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of a stainless steel fatigue fracture. The micrograph revealed various cracks through rounded voids. These were determined to be the former location of sulphide inclusions that were dissipated as a result of loose bonding with the metal matrix. The geometry of the inclusions provided a stress-concentration, leading to the fatigue micro-cracks that can be observed in the image.
The image was taken as part of a failure investigation that revealed that the fracture was due to inappropriate material selection in which the presence of sulphide inclusions in the steel contributed to cyclic fatigue failure. By revealing the cause of failure, LMATS investigation allowed corrections to be made, preventing any costly future failures.
LMATS comprises a team of Metallurgist, Engineers, Scientist, Engineering Technologist and Non-destructive testing Technologist. The combination of these professionals from different speciality ensures that the most probable root cause is concluded and the best preventive measures are recommended.

Welding is an engineering process that joins components or parts of similar or dissimilar compatible materials.
This is often done by melting the joining interfaces of the objects and adding a filler material to form a pool of molten material which forms a permanent joint after solidification.
Several thermo-mechanical mechanisms are known to introduce the required heat to melt material.
The most common welding process are MMAW, SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, PAW, SAW, FCAW, Oxygen-Fuel Welding, Resistance spot and seam weld, Thermit weld, Explosion weld, flash welding.
There are numerous variables in these processes when uncontrolled can contribute to inadequate or unacceptable weld joint. As a standard practice, a weld sample is produced prior to commencing the final welding of the product. All welding variables are controlled and recorded when welding the weld sample or coupon.
These welded coupons are then tested to ensure that the weld joint will be of acceptable quality. The welded sample or coupon is often tested at various stages of fabrication such as for Welding Procedure Qualification Record (WPQR), to qualify Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), to qualify welder as Welder Qualification Record ( WQ or WQR) and to accept the final product in the form of Production Weld test.
LMATS provides services such as Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), Weld Procedure Development, Welding Procedure Qualification record Witnessing (WPQR), Welder Qualification Witnessing (WQR), WPQR Weld Qualification, Welder (Performance) Qualification, Visual examination, Visual Inspection of welds, Non-destructive examination of welds, all mechanical tests, welding machine calibration as required by several standards.
LMATS comprises a team of Metallurgist, Engineers, Welding Engineers and technologist, Welding Supervisors and Inspectors, Scientist, Engineering Technologist and Non-destructive testing Technologist. The combination of these professionals from different speciality ensures that the welding task is completed efficiently and within shortest duration.
Weld testing is performed every hour in LMATS laboratories.
LMATS provides comprehensive range of metallurgical services such as failure analysis/investigation, Material identification and recommendation, Metallography – Microstructure and macro test, manual ferrite count, etch structure classification for screening test before corrosion resistance test, graphite classification, microscopic thickness measurement, grain size, inclusion contents, and other general metallurgical services.
The majority of these Metallurgical tests have to be done under laboratory conditions however there is good news LMATS have the ability to do a range of these Metallurgical Services on site and in-situ thus enabling considerable savings by reducing delays and downtime.
