Quality testing and chemical analysis services helping scientific, technology and manufacturing companies compete in the global market.
Avomeen’s failure analysis laboratory can help identify the cause, develop a solution, and prevent future product failure which can be extremely costly for your business in terms of production costs, time delays, lost customers, and even major litigation & PR issues. Count on our talented chemists to efficiently analyze and identify the mode of failure, develop a solution to fix the problem in a fast and reliable manner, and assist in putting new quality control safeguards in place to help prevent similar product failure issue in your future production. Our scientists have the advanced instrumentation and experience needed to solve a variety of failure analysis problems including:
Our experienced scientists use a wide range of instrumentation for failure analysis testing, including SEM/EDXA, FT-IR, GC/MS, LC/MS, DSC, TGA and more for unknown material identification and analysis. We and also can provide physical failure analysis testing such as tension, compression, permeability, surface analysis, and metallography. Whether the root cause is in the raw materials, a flaw in the product design, or an unknown contamination/problem in the production and processing of your product our skilled chemists can determine a reliable solution fast.
Avomeen’s failure analysis laboratory can quickly and accurately determine the cause of your products failure problem.
We are experienced problem solvers and can identifying issues and determining solution for unknown foreign contamination, corrosion, discoloration, strange odors, reduced shelf life and more. Avomeen’s failure analysis laboratory can get your company’s production back on track. We are flexible to your needs and offer rush testing and analysis services.
Avomeen’s failure analysis laboratory provides testing for unknown materials by comparing ‘good’ vs. ‘bad’ samples, and can also provide onsite investigations if needed. Avomeen’s final reports include recommendations to prevent product failure in future production in addition to the conclusions. Along with our final results and reports you will be provided with all the original technical data. Avomeen’s experienced chemists are there for you both before and after testing and can help solve your products unknown failure problems and other complex analytical needs.
If you are experiencing legal issues due to a products failure we also have an experienced failure analysis expert witness on staff to further assist your company.
Some materials that Avomeen can test in its failure analysis lab:
Case Study – Manufacturing Problem Solving – Failure Analysis Testing lab
Industry: Automotive
Problem: Breakage and peeling on an auto bumper
Solution: An automobile manufacturer noticed peeling and premature breakage on a polymer-based automobile bumper. The bumper was made using a blend of polymers. We examined the separation of layers with high-resolution microscopy and found adhesion failure at the separation. In order for the polymers to blend fully, a compatibilizer was necessary. Furthermore FT-IR analysis revealed no compatibilizer in the failed product. Our chemists helped the manufacture to reformulate his product adding a proper compatibilizer – solving the product issue.
