Failure Analysis & Materials Evaluation
Uncovering the root causes of material failures to improve performance, reliability, and safety.
At Phased Alloy Research & Testing Services, LLC (P.A.R.T.S.), our failure analysis laboratory specializes in identifying why materials and components fail — helping clients prevent future issues, improve design performance, and maintain compliance with ASTM, ASME, and MIL-SPEC standards.
We provide comprehensive testing and evaluation of metals, alloys, polymers, ceramics, composites, coatings, and cement, assessing their mechanical strength, microstructure, corrosion resistance, and chemical composition to determine failure origins and contributing factors.
Metallurgical Testing
Microstructural evaluation, fracture analysis, and heat treatment verification.
Mechanical Testing
Tensile, hardness, impact, and fatigue testing for strength and durability assessment.
Electromechanical Testing
Evaluation of electrical and mechanical components under applied load and stress.
Chemical & Physical Testing
Elemental composition analysis and material identification to confirm alloy and coating specifications.
Corrosion Testing
Salt spray, immersion, and environmental exposure testing to assess material degradation and resistance.
Our mission is to deliver exceptional technical support and actionable results that help our clients ensure the quality, durability, and integrity of their materials and manufacturing processes. Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped to perform a wide range of chemical, mechanical, and physical analyses, conducted by experienced specialists in metallurgy, chemistry, and corrosion science.
Our Pennsylvania-based materials testing and failure analysis laboratory provides accurate, traceable, and timely reports that help clients across aerospace, energy, manufacturing, and construction industries improve reliability and reduce costly downtime.
