Groupe Institut de Soudure conducts end-to-end failure investigations on broken assemblies and industrial installations:

Metallurgical & Fractographic Analysis: Identification of rupture origins (fatigue cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking, creep, overload) using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with EDS and WDS microanalysis.
Metallographic Laboratory Examination: Macro- and microstructural analysis of weldments, heat-affected zones (HAZ), base metals, and joints to detect cracking, porosity, lack of fusion, or incorrect heat treatments.
Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Field and laboratory ultrasonic testing (Phased Array, TOFD), digital radiography, and eddy currents to inspect cracks and flaws in critical components.
Mechanical Testing: Impact testing (Charpy), tensile, bending, and hardness testing to verify material compliance with international standards.
Numerical Modeling & Simulation: Finite element modeling (FEA) and fracture mechanics calculations to simulate stress concentrations and validate root-cause hypotheses.
