Course Outline This three hour online course discusses the various types of failure mechanisms and the process of conducting a metallurgical failure analysis. Failure Analysis is one of the most useful techniques for ensuring the safety and reliability of products and plant facilities/components. The main benefits are the prevention of failure in a similar equipment, and improvement in useful service life through design or material modifications. This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end. Learning Objective At the conclusion of this course, the student will: Have information about the various factors that needs to be considered in material selection, design and the service environment. Be able to recognize some of the basic features and characteristics of different failure mechanisms. Be knowledgeable in the laboratory testing methods and procedures that can help determine the cause of the failures. Course Introduction Some of the most typical causes of failures shall be discussed along with the general tools and techniques of failure analy
