Failure analysis is a systematic investigative procedure using the scientific method to identify the causes of a failure.
The Failure Analysis Society is the newest affiliate society from ASM International. Founded in 2016, this society is dedicated to advancing failure analysis’s vital role in the materials science industry.
ASM methodology is applied to conduct failure analysis where appropriate.
The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) Process is followed. The FMEA methodology is based on a hierarchical, inductive approach to analysis.
Note: Testing methods may be destructive or non-destructive (context-dependent)
• Physical investigation [X-ray fluorescence – XRF], X-ray diffraction [XRD], RAMAN spectroscopy
• Chemical analysis (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy [FTIR], inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy [ICP-MS], total organic carbon [TOC], gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy [GC-MS]
• Wet chemical analysis (pH, ion identification, density)
• Thermal imaging
• UV analysis
• Microscopy (stereo) and scanning electron microscopy [SEM]
• Electronic testing
