This brochure provides an overview of root cause failure analysis (RCFA) as a systematic method for identifying why industrial equipment fails and how to prevent recurrence. It outlines investigative techniques including mechanical testing, metallurgical analysis, chemical analysis, and advanced non-destructive testing. The document emphasizes that RCFA goes beyond identifying immediate damage by uncovering weaknesses in maintenance, materials, operations, or management systems. Multiple industry case studies demonstrate how failures such as fatigue, corrosion, overheating, misalignment, and metallurgical defects were diagnosed to improve asset reliability, safety, and long-term performance.
