Job Description
Description:
A Metallurgy Failure Analysis job involves investigating why metal parts break or perform poorly, using tools like SEM, EDS, Hardness tester and microscopy to find the root cause (fracture, corrosion, design flaw) and recommending solutions to prevent recurrence, requiring strong materials science, metallurgical principles, and technical report writing skills
Key Responsibilities
Root Cause Analysis: Examine failed components (fracture surfaces, corrosion, microstructures) using advanced techniques to determine failure origins and mechanisms (fatigue, creep, stress corrosion cracking).
Testing & Validation: Develop and perform destructive (tensile, hardness) and non-destructive (NDT) tests to replicate failures and validate material performance.
