Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention

Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention

ASM International's bimonthly Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention (JFAP) provides practical information for determining the cause of failures and eliminating future failures. Peer-reviewed articles demonstrate the importance of failure analysis for product and performance improvement and industrial problem solving.

Written for failure analysis practitioners with a range of experience, the Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention highlights information-gathering techniques, technical analysis, and emerging tools to assist in knowledge and skill development.

The journal focuses on areas of failure analysis common to all industries, including failure analysis techniques, tests to prevent failures, cross-functional case histories, new equipment and processes, education and training information, field evaluation and sampling, lab reports, forensics, and reviews of classic failures.

Published by Springer. The Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention is available online via Springer.com.
