Talk:Failure analysis

message: This article currently discusses only failure analysis in electronics. It should also describe its application to mechanics, structural engineering, business management, military strategy, and possibly other fields. NeonMerlin 16:54, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good comment Merlin, maybe if it gets on Wikiproject engineering lists engineering editors will notice and improve it.  --Blechnic (talk) 05:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is an important subject in regards to engineering.  Ultimately the goal of engineers is to prevent failures, and as such analysis of failures is tantamount to its own field.  When this subject is expanded to all fields of engineering (besides electrical), it will be very relevant. --Markozeta (talk) 18:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[SQUID]] based microscopes 

message: Just checked several of the references in the reference list; all but two (and I'm not too sure about one of them) links were either broken or irrelevant. I'll work on adding references when I can, but this would best be handled by someone more deeply embedded in the field who might have better access to sources.

thread_title:  References 

message: No Fault Found needs to be unmerged from this page.  As a topic it is growing in importance and it is thought that NFF has very high cost implications for the maintenance industry in all sectors.JPelham (talk) 16:34, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The draft article has now been accepted and I believe the NFF elements should be removed from failure analysis and moved there as the current explanation confuses the two distinct topics.  NFF can occur with no associated failure and the analysis in that case is not failure analysis.  I've updated the wording temporarily to reflect but in the long term it makes senses to split the topics and just briefly describe NFF as sharing techniques and redirect the reader to the NFF article if they wish to read more.JPelham (talk) 13:25, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Structural failures 

message: The text in the Failure analysis engineers section seems odd and out of place (emphasis mine):
Structural Engineers and Mechanical Engineers are very common for the job. More specific majors can also get into the position such as materials engineers. Specializing in metallurgy and chemistry is always useful along with properties and strengths of materials. Someone could be hired for different reasons, whether it be to further prevent or liability issues. The median salary of a failure analysis engineer, an engineer with experience in the field, is $81,647. A failure analysis engineer requires a good amount of communication and ability to work with others. Usually, the person hired has a bachelor's degree in engineering, but there are certifications that can be acquired.
I would not expect to see information like this in an article on a technical subject, and the salary info will quickly become outdated.
