Case Study - Contamination Identified on Automotive Part
An automotive parts supplier was experiencing a high failure rate of a seal against an aluminum housing. We analyzed residue from bad samples, identified contaminant residue, helped determine the source, and analyzed parts after a new cleaning procedure was implemented to make sure the contamination was effectively removed. As a result of this analysis the customer's part failure rate was drastically reduced.
