Failure Analysis is the systematic investigation of why a product, material, or system failed to perform as intended, often used to prevent recurrence. It is used by engineers in industries like manufacturing, aerospace, and electronics to examine failed components through techniques such as root cause analysis, metallurgical testing, and fractography. Findings from failure analysis often inform design improvements and quality control processes.
