MCL Services provides systematic failure analysis and materials testing services in compliance with standardized protocols such as VDI 3822:

Root-Cause Failure Analysis: Systematic investigation of broken components, crack initiation assessments, fracture mechanics evaluations, and thermal degradation studies on machinery, tools, and structural parts.
Fractography & Metallography: Macroscopic and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations of fracture surfaces to diagnose fatigue cracking, stress corrosion cracking, brittle cleavage, and hydrogen embrittlement.
Tribological Wear Analysis: Examination of contact mechanics and tribologically stressed surfaces to isolate mechanisms of adhesion, abrasion, surface fatigue, and tribochemical wear.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): High-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) and Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) for non-destructive detection of internal voids, pores, and delaminations.
Simulation-Assisted Failure Assessment: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and component stress modeling to reconstruct operating loads and verify root-cause hypotheses.
Residual Stress & Chemical Analysis: X-ray diffraction (XRD) residual stress measurements, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and microstructural characterization.
