MSi - Our test reports are known for their ease of reading. We use extensive, annotated photographs in every report section to assist in relaying visual information to our customers. Our Investigative Summary report style provides all conclusions in the beginning of the report. We offer definitive statements about the failure root cause. If we cannot identify a cause of the failure, we tell you straight out…we do not use the typical engineering speak and terminology that other labs may provide.. Many times the supplied samples (or background information) do not contain sufficient artifacts to solve the problem. Our reports do not leave you wondering, “What does the report mean?”. Visit our Learning Center to see an example of an MSi Investigative Summary report style.

Scanning Electron Microscopy
This is the heart of all failure analysis and corrosion failure analysis investigations. Our SEM department has over 30 years of experience identifying the following failure mechanisms:
Metallurgical Test Lab Does the metallurgical test lab you use have up to date IT technology?
Case Studies
Metallurgy Failure Analysis Metallurgy failure analysis of stainless steel belts in food manufacturing application.
Failure Analysis Lab Case study to identify material defects within a cast iron cylinder head performed by MSi Testing & Engineering, the failure analysis lab with the largest metallurgical engineering staff in the United States
Failure Analysis Service A small surface indication as determined by failure analysis service performed by MSi.
Failure Analysis Laboratories Not all failure analysis laboratories are the same - MSi's engineers solve a drag chain failure investigation.
Failure Analysis Testing Failure analysis testing performed by MSi Testing & Engineering on two ductile iron brake heads did not identify any evidence of detrimental material conditions contributing to the component fractures.
