In the field of metallurgy and corrosion, it is of paramount importance to acknowledge that no failure should ever be underestimated or dismissed as trivial. Each failure carries its own unique narrative and offers invaluable insights into the underlying causes and potential risks. This paper emphasizes the utmost significance of understanding and analyzing metallurgical failures, irrespective of their perceived severity. By meticulously examining every failure as an individual case, substantial lessons can be derived, leading to advancements in designs, materials, and manufacturing processes. Through meticulous investigations and the application of failure analysis techniques, the intricate stories concealed within each failure can be unraveled. These comprehensive analyses provide crucial information for identifying root causes and establishing preventive measures. The paper presents compelling case studies that exemplify the consequences arising from insufficient knowledge on material selection, neglecting stress raisers, mishandling of materials, and the absence of robust inspection plans. These failures range from production losses to fatal incidents, underscoring the criticality of learning from past experiences and implementing proactive measures to avert such occurrences.
