We provide expert failure analysis advice to improve component life.

Exova’s failure analysis testing is a valuable measure to determine the cause of failure on components - by understanding what causes a component to break or wear our experts can solve any design or material selection problem encountered. With our thorough knowledge and experience in component and material failure analysis we are able to conduct failure analysis testing that can improve the capability and sustainability of components within the defence industry.

Our state-of-the-art equipment can meet the specific failure analysis needs of our defence industry clients. When a component cannot be removed from service or is too large to transport, our portable chemical analysis and metallographic equipment is available to conduct in-situ examination of failed components. We also have a large number of scanning electron microscopes, fitted with failure analysis accessories, plus light microscopes and photographic systems to conduct full failure analysis.
