Failure Analysis Training

Failure Analysis Introduction was conducted, by TUV SUD PSB for the electrical and electronics industries, on 20^th November, 2009, at Amatanakorn Industrial Zone.

About Failure analysis:

Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure. It is an important discipline in many branches of manufacturing industry, such as the electronics industry, where it is a vital tool used in the development of new products and for the improvement of existing products. It relies on collecting failed components for subsequent examination of the cause or causes of failure using a wide array of methods, especially microscopy and spectroscopy. The NDT or nondestructive testing methods are valuable because the failed products are unaffected by analysis, so inspection always starts using these methods

TUV SUD PSB conducts failure analysis on any type of failed devices/structures and provides materials-related evaluation on key industry sectors such as aerospace, marine, power generation, oil and gas, chemical, electronics, construction, medical,etc.
