Vibration’s Arbitration: How the “Cold Weld” in a Crimp Decides 40x Longer Life
(Estimated reading time: 14 minutes) Forget the conference room whiteboards. On the failure analysis bench, where we dissect harnesses from harvesters and haul trucks, the solder-versus-crimp debate isn’t theoretical—it’s etched in fractured grain boundaries. This isn’t about preference; it’s a binary outcome dictated by metallurgy. One method engineers a time-bound failure; the other, when executed […]
