Materials Failure Analysis

Comprehensive Failure Analysis and Materials Services

At MAS, we leverage our state-of-the-art materials testing laboratories, cutting-edge instrumentation, and extensive resources to guarantee the resilience of each component in your product, enabling optimal performance in the most challenging applications. MAS is the preferred choice for clients seeking solutions to their most complex challenges, as our results offer clarity and insight. When product quality and customer satisfaction are paramount, we excel in accomplishing the most intricate failure analysis tasks.

Failure Testing

A failure occurs when a product falls short of delivering adequate performance in a specific situation. This can encompass a wide range of issues, including material breakage, bending, weakening, or wear. Our role is to meticulously examine the components of a particular application, carefully unraveling the root cause behind its failure.


While you might have some initial insights into the primary cause, professional failure analysis often reveals nuances and details that remain hidden without expert examination. Our team's expertise and attention to detail allow us to uncover the underlying factors contributing to the failure, providing valuable insights for improving product performance and preventing future issues.

Technical Assistance

Material failures often result from a combination of inherent material properties and external factors. It is crucial to pinpoint whether the issue lies within the process or the material itself.


Our team of experienced scientists bring extensive knowledge from both the field and laboratory environments. 


In a typical scenario requiring technical assistance, we seamlessly utilize the testing capabilities of our advanced laboratory facilities.


This integrated approach facilitates the identification and resolution of issues extending beyond conventional materials testing, ensuring comprehensive support for our clients.
