Failure Analysis and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) are similar but not identical terms that describe techniques used in investigating an event or accident and determining the reasons why the event occurred.
While the equipment and analysis techniques used are often similar, the distinct difference of these two analysis techniques lies in their definition. RCA involves determining the root cause of an incident through some formal analysis process. Failure analysis differs in its scope, only looking at the physical root causes of a failure at a component level. Failure analysis does not look at the “how” of a failure and as such can be considered a subsection within RCA.
Adopted proactively, the analysis helps clients learn from past incidents, predict future trends and implement solutions to avoid repeat occurrence.
The benefit of adopting failure analysis and RCA surrounds the ability to implement root cause solutions. With repeat occurrences avoided, additional benefits include:
The SRG Global Asset Care Approach Through our team of engineers, metallurgists, materials engineers, scientists and technicians, SRG Global Asset Care proudly boasts decades of experience in failure investigation and RCA. SRG Global Asset Care’s principal engineers and scientists are highly accredited with recognised qualification such as RPEQ, CPEng, CMatP, MIEAust and FIEAus.
Our broad team brings significant capacity to our clients in investigating incidents and failures, and has a deep understanding of root cause determination techniques. As part of this, SRG Global Asset Care can provide large scale resourcing when required to turn around incident determinations in real time. SRG Global Asset Care have mobilised multidisciplinary teams to complete critical interpretations on behalf of our clients.
In the unfortunate event that a failure occurs, SRG Global Asset Care can effectively investigate and provide expert opinions that can be relied upon.

Welder Qualifications & Procedure Qualifications SRG Global Asset Care provides welder qualifications and procedure qualifications (WPS, PQR) including:
Hardness Testing
Hardness testing is used to determine a material’s characteristics and functionality. The test assesses the level of mechanical resistance one material has to the mechanical penetration of another, harder body.
There are a variety of hardness testing methods employed at SRG Global Asset Care including Vickers hardness, Vickers microhardness, Brinell hardness, and Rockwell hardness.
Bend Testing
Bend testing is a method of determining a variety of factors surrounding a material’s ductility, the bend and fracture strength, along with the material’s resistance to fracturing.
Impact Testing
Impact testing is used to observe and assess a material during a collision or shock landing, specifically assessing the material’s ability to absorb energy.
Shear Testing
Shear testing encompasses a variety of loading schemes aimed at assessing shear strain, stress and modulus by applying force to a specimen until fracture occurs. This testing is most commonly performed on metals, adhesives and composites.
Fillet Break Testing
Fillet break tests are a form a testing used to examine the weld root under tension, and specifically examine this root’s penetration in a destructive manner.
Nick Break Testing
Nick break testing is a form of destructive testing, designed to test a weld’s quality, and if present, identify internal defects such as burnt metal, slag inclusions and lack of fusion.
Compression & Tensile Testing
Compression and tensile testing are two of the most common mechanical testing methods. With compression testing, the test looks to assess the behaviour of a material when crushing loads are applied. Whereas tensile testing assesses a specimen’s tensile strength, yield strength along with the material’s ductility.
Both compression and tensile testing are performed on universal mechanical testing equipment.

SRG Global Asset Care has experience delivering a range of structural engineering and integrity services. Within this range, SRG Global Asset Care maintains core capability in strain gauging and finite element analysis, both used to better understand the stress conditions of any structure under load.
With challenges unlike their metallic counterparts, SRG Global Asset Care offers comprehensive services tailored for the unique characteristics of non-metallic material.
Non-metallic materials are replacing metals in applications requiring corrosion resistance, reduced weight, specific wear properties or reduced fabrication costs. However, such materials still require specific consideration in an asset care program. SRG Global Asset Care are leaders in providing tailored services to deal with the unique challenges these materials pose.
Material Testing SRG Global Asset Care has extensive experience testing non-metallic materials. Testing types include:
Material Identification Non-metallic material identification can be more in depth than metallic material identification due to the complex mixtures of molecules in such materials. Many rubbers, composites and plastic samples are less than 60% by weight of the named material type with the rest being various mineral and non-mineral fillers. SRG Global Asset Care investigates materials using methods including scanning electron microscopy, pyrolysate Fourier transform infrared analysis and thermogravimetric analysis to characterise the various elements, phases and chemical bonds present in the sample. These methods can also be used to identify unknown rubber or plastic fragments which are contaminating systems.
Failure Investigations Whilst a number of failure mechanisms, such as tensile overload or fatigue, are common to metallic and non-metallic materials, some failure modes differ in elastomers significantly from metallic materials. This includes mechanisms such as explosive decompression, environmental stress cracking and oxidation damage. SRG Global Asset Care has experience in failure investigations across a wide range of non-metallic material sample types including rubbers, fabrics, plastics, composite amongst others.
Non-Destructive Testing Non-destructive testing methods for non-metallic materials are constrained by the limited electrical conductivity and magnetism in the materials. SRG Global Asset Care has experience in ultrasonic testing of elastomeric materials including conveyer belts and penetrant testing of composite and polymeric materials for crack detection. Holiday testing of coatings and material hardness testing can also be undertaken in-situ.
When welding quality is questioned, partner with SRG Global Asset Care for a comprehensive inspection, consulting and testing solution.
Welding remains among the most common, useful and efficient methods to join two metal components. The versatility that the many manual and automatic welding processes afford, combined with many different joint design options, allow designers and manufacturers the adaptability to pursue many practical options. However, navigating the complex set of welding options and successfully designing and actioning quality welds can require expert knowledge along with independent quality control and inspections.

Despite continued advancements in simulation modelling methods, strain gauge measurements remain important in determining actual strains developed in assets during testing and in-service operation.
The measurement of strain is a fundamentally simple, yet effective and accurate technique to record the strain that develops in components when loads are applied to them.
Strain gauges have application across almost any type of asset, with some examples being:
Advantages of Strain Gauges The main advantages of testing via strain gauges include:
Strain gauges themselves are typically both small, inexpensive and their use does not damage the asset being tested.
SRG Global Asset Care’ engineers combine strain measurement with vibration measurement and advanced simulation tools such as FEA to help customers identify and resolve structural challenges with industrial assets.
