		Oilfield Our experience with oilfield failure investigations dates back to the 1950s. Components such as blowout preventers, pipe elevators and tubular goods from coiled tubing to casing to drill pipe are routinely evaluated at our facility. From overload failure due to low-grade joints to corrosion induced by sulfate-reducing bacteria, we’ll find the answer. Back to top

	Petrochemicals Failure analysis in this industry demands experience with both the equipment used and the environments to which the materials are exposed.. Anderson & Associates brings to each metallurgical failure analysis a specialized understanding of corrosion and high-temperature failures as well as the effects of pressure and fatigue. Back to top

		Power Generation The high-temperature environment of gas turbines demands an understanding of elevated temperature corrosion and creep in superalloys plus awareness of high-stress points. Although uncommon, crankshaft failures in diesel engines do occur, and their evaluation demands a high level of experience. Cracks can develop due to everything from improper induction hardening to material defects; understanding operating stresses is crucial to identifying root causes. Back to top
