Services
In 1977, Radian Corporation (Radian) hired a group of engineers and established a Failure Analysis laboratory in Austin, Texas at the behest of their parent organization, Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB). The technical staff and laboratory, known as Mechanical & Materials Engineering, would meet the felt need of HSB to provide engineering support and assistance in claims investigations and loss prevention activities. After a decade of providing exclusive support for HSB, Mechanical & Materials Engineering broadened their client base to include commercial work.
M&M Engineering Associates provides many services including root cause failure analysis, accident investigations, materials consulting, corrosion prevention, and water chemistry/treatment consulting. Our combined experience in performing failure analysis and the understanding of failure mechanisms have enabled us to develop a number of related offerings, such as inspection and condition assessment, development of integrity management programs, shutdown planning and risk-based analysis.
The handbook presents examples of common failure mechanisms in a variety of boilers including power boilers, recovery boilers, and Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs). Visual examination may help the equipment operator decide whether further metallurgical examination and root cause analysis is warranted.
