Decoding Failures Training Course
Event Information
About this Event
Understanding why something failed is critical to developing cost-effective solutions. The greatest source of information is the broken part itself. This course teaches how to examine and interpret the fracture surfaces of mechanical failures, gleaning the details as to why the part failed.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to (a) recognize each of the mechanical failure modes, (b) be able to interpret the details of how they failed and (c) use this information as part of a root cause failure investigation.
Participants will learn on actual failed parts, examining fifty failed parts using stereo microscopes. The details of how to recognize and interpret each of the mechanical failure modes will be introduced (fatigue, ductile, brittle). Then participants will get to examine numerous fractured parts under four stereo microscopes to gain familiarity. Once the base skills are established, participants will then be given a series of failed parts to challenge and further expand their understanding.
