ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS

INVESTIGATING THE ROOT
CAUSE OF FAILURES.

With six cutting edge test labs under one roof, ATRONA offers you a single source solution for comprehensive root cause investigations and formal failure analysis. We have all of the tools needed to control every aspect of the investigation, including two full Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) systems, fully equipped with low and variable pressure capabilities and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) with full digital imaging - an essential tool in failure analysis and identification of failure mode. Other instruments include a range of optical and metallurgical microscopes, stereo microscopes with Keyence 3-D imaging, hardness testers, microhardness testers that are fully automatic with one capable of testing eight specimens at one time, optical emission spectrometers, sample prep equipment and a full mechanical testing lab with its own machine shop, the latest Charpy impact testers and four recently upgraded tensile testers. Our fully-equipped labs offer metallurgical, chemical, polymer, mechanical, microscopy, and non-destructive (NDT) examination.
