About the course

Material failure root cause analysis (RCA) is a systematic approach used to identify and analyze the underlying causes of material failures. It involves investigating the failure mechanisms, examining the materials, analyzing the operating conditions, and identifying contributing factors to determine the root cause(s) of the failure. RCA is essential in understanding why a material or component failed and implementing corrective actions to prevent future failures.

This root cause analysis (RCA) course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the RCA process for investigating and analyzing material failures. The course covers key concepts, methodologies, and tools, such as SEM-EDS and Focus Ion Beam (FIB), used to identify the root causes of failures and develop effective corrective actions. Participants will gain practical skills in conducting RCA, enhancing their ability to improve material performance, prevent future failures, and enhance safety and reliability.

The course consists of 12 hours of live sessions with the instructor. All training content is provided through your EngineeringTrainer account.
