Materials Failure Analysis

Anti Corrosion Technology (ACT) works jointly with the end user to inspect, investigate, evaluate and assess any given failure.

ACT adopts a systematic engineering approach by providing the end user with a final report highlighting the root cause of the failure identfying whether it is application or service related. This report includes a comprehensive remedial action plan on both short- and long-term implementation. 

ACT’s areas of expertise in materials failure analysis, include:

  • Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of asset failures, including but not limited to metallurgical, plastic, and concrete failures,
  • RCA of structural and mechanical failures,
  • Corrosion related failures, including microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), CUPS, CUI, stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and corrosion fatigue,
  • Forensic engineering and expert witness of mechanical, materials and corrosion failures,
  • Material and product compliance reviews, independent recommendation for repair and remediation works.
