Automobile Failure Analysis

Failure means that the product cannot complete the functions specified in the original design under normal use conditions. Failure analysis reproduces failure modes and phenomena through simulation, analyzes the causes of failure, and unearths the failure mechanism. It is an important way to ensure product quality and performance.

Automobile failure analysis focuses on the study of the causes and patterns of automobile parts and materials losing their prescribed functions. The analysis can help automobile manufacturers clarify the failure mechanisms of components and materials, guide design and process improvements, and thereby improve automobile reliability and service life. In addition, the analysis helps to predict the risk of failure before the vehicle fails, so that damaged parts can be repaired in time to avoid accidents.

STEMart provides high-quality automobile failure analysis services to study the causes of failure of automobile components and materials, predict the risk of failure, and improve vehicle safety and reliability.
