Corrosion and Failure Analysis for Welded Joints and Fabricated Structures
Welded joints and fabricated structures form the backbone of industries such as construction, oil and gas, power generation, shipbuilding, and manufacturing. These components are expected to withstand heavy loads, harsh environments, and long service lives. However, welding processes and fabrication techniques can introduce weaknesses that make structures vulnerable to degradation and unexpected breakdowns. This is where Corrosion and Failure Analysis becomes essential. By identifying the causes of corrosion and structural failure in welded joints and fabricated components, testing laboratories help industries improve durability, ensure safety, and prevent costly downtime. Understanding Corrosion and Failure Analysis Corrosion and Failure Analysis is a systematic investigation of material degradation and mechanical breakdown. It focuses on determining why a material or joint failed and how environmental, mechanical, or metallurgical factors contributed to the damage. In welded ...
