In this episode I discuss another failure analysis project I worked on - an equipment reliability problem. This example demonstrates how failure analysis is applied to improve reliability.

I also discuss my motivation for working on failure analyses.

See this article to learn more Example of Using Failure Analysis to Improve Reliability of Production Equipment

See this video to learn more Example of Using Failure Analysis to Improve Reliability - Mixing Blade

We also offer an online course Metal Failure Analysis
