Course Description

This course will teach apprentices how to study problems and failures and general procedures for failure analysis: Students will learn about collection of data and samples, preliminary examination, non-destructive inspection, mechanical testing, selection and preservation of fracture surfaces, fracture classification, identifying fatigue failures, factors affecting fatigue life, stages of fatigue fracture, fatigue cracking, contact fatigue, wear failures, abrasive wear, adhesive wear, role of friction, lubricated wear, lubricant failures, non lubricated wear, examination of worn parts, effect of wear rates, corrosion failures, types of corrosion, atmospheric corrosion, corrective and preventative measures, stress corrosion cracking. Students will also learn how to put failure analysis procedures in typical troubleshooting procedures. Failure of motors, pumps and other mechanical systems will also be covered.
