A ‘Cold Case’ Failure Analysis
In this presentation you will learn how the chance finding of an old photograph was the prompt for a ‘cold-case’ failure analysis that ultimately revealed the cause of an almost-forgotten near-fatal incident. You will see examples of the importance of context on materials failure, how the Internet can be a source of information on materials that are no longer available for examination, and how plastic deformation can be analysed without the high-powered software. The presentation will also demonstrate why you should be alert to the danger that can come from having low expectations and raises questions about what might have happened if the failure had occurred today on an industrial work site.
