failures, cracks
tool breakages
damage to production equipment
damage to manufactured parts
surface damage: wear and tear, seizing, etc.
etc.

Techniques used for damage assessment:

microstructure examination
fractography (scanning electron
microscope)
materials analyses (see chemical
analyses)
mechanical characteristics (see
mechanical tests)

non-destructive controls
etc.
