2.2 – Failure analysis: Due to the complex nature of failure analysis, it is always best to contact us directly with your issues so we can formulate a testing and analysis plan specific to your sample type and requirements. Please call us on +44 (0) 141 647 7100 or e-mail testing@evolutionfasteners.co.uk. A brief introduction to our failure analysis services and tests/ investigations is given below: Fractography NC Using light (metallurgical) and scanning electron microscopy to study the failure surfaces and note the failure and separation methods. This is done by the observations of (not exhaustive) fractures, ruptures, fissures, cracks, striations and dimpling.

Metallic and non-metallic investigations possible.

18

19

Investigative chemistry NC Using various processes and spectrometers to study the components, reactions and constituents involved. This is primarily done through our range of spectrometers and spectrophotometers: FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) Spectrometry, OES (Optical Emission) Spectrometry, XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) Spectrometry, UV-Vis (Ultra-Violet and Visible (light)) Spectrophotometry, SEM (Scanning Electron) Microscopy. Investigative chemistry and residue analysis possible.

20

21

Other investigations NC Our range of equipment is extensive and we can further provide failure and usability analysis: High speed video recording (up to 38,565 FPS), Thermal imaging and recording.

Metrology, microscopy, metallurgy and other analytical techniques can be performed to accurately diagnose the failure method of a product through various mechanisms and phenomenon’s. For example, fasteners can suffer from tensile, creep, fatigue, torque and shear failures as well as hydrogen embrittlement, stress corrosion cracking and electro-galvanic accelerated bi-metallic corrosion.

22

23

2.3 – Chemical analysis: Chemical analysis is the use of spectrometers and spectrophotometers to quantify the chemical constituents (generally as individual elements in the periodic table of elements) and composition of a material. FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) Spectroscopy methods:

Textile fibres NC ASTM D276 – 12 Poly-vinyl chloride content NC ASTM D2124 – 99 (2011) General quantitative analysis NC ASTM E168 – 16

General qualitative analysis – solids only NC ASTM E1252 – 98 (2013) E1

24

25

OES (Optical Emission) Spectroscopy methods: Carbon and low-alloy steel NC ASTM E415 – 17 Austenitic stainless steels NC ASTM E1086 – 14 Aluminium (and alloys thereof) NC ASTM E1251 – 17A Cast iron NC ASTM E1999 – 18

26

27

XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) Spectroscopy methods: Stainless steels NC ASTM E1476 – 04 (2014) Titanium (and alloys thereof) NC ASTM E539 – 11

Whether in the laboratory or on-site, the use of XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) spectrometry allows for the rapid PMI (Positive Material Identification) of stainless steel alloys, Inconel alloys, titanium alloys and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance so that projects do not suffer from the use of incorrect materials, viz. the Kobe Steel Scandal that affected production compliance on a Global scale.

28

29

2.4 – Positive material identification (PMI): We can positively identify various materials including (but not limited to): Steels (carbon, boron, low-alloy and stainless, duplex, etc) NC XRF or OES Aluminium alloys (zinc, zamak, magnesium, etc) NC XRF or OES Copper, bronze and alloys thereof NC XRF or OES Titanium, tungsten, vanadium and alloys thereof NC XRF or OES Plastics and polymers NC FTIR Gypsum and silicates NC FTIR

3.0 – Product testing services: In addition to individual standardised testing, Evolution Fasteners is able to provide product testing services in areas where we have specialised knowledge, experience and equipment suited directly to the testing of such products.

Product compliance is a critical issue that more manufacturers will need to embrace. In post-Grenfell UK, there is no denying the march towards greater mandatory requirements on quality assurance through regulations and statutory instruments as well as much greater fiscal, social, environmental and criminal culpability on manufacturers. For many manufacturers, it will be better to invest in proactive compliance testing rather than wait and hope to avoid scrutiny under Judicial Review or Public Inquest in the future.
