In the second episode of our Chem & Pharma North America series, we explore the science behind failure analysis with Stephen French, our subject matter expert.

From corrosion and fatigue to polymer cracking and material defects, Stephen breaks down how metallurgical investigations help uncover the true root cause when a component does not perform as expected.

You’ll hear real-world examples, learn about the advanced analytical techniques used during investigations, and discover how deeper material insights help prevent repeat failures, improve safety, and support smarter engineering decisions.
