Materials/Metallurgical Engineering

When the systems or equipment you rely on break down or stop performing as intended, the results can be expensive and time consuming. Identification of the root cause for these issues becomes important to prevent recurrences, as well as to recover damages.  Our materials engineering experts have extensive experience in failure analysis and materials engineering related investigations.Metallurgical Engineering Expert

Inadequacies in design, fabrication, misuse/abuse, and/or application need to be explored and identified to pinpoint the problem. This is when you call on a materials engineering expert at Professional Analysis and Consulting. The materials engineering expert will examine the evidence to determine if the materials met specifications, and if the manufacturing process was appropriate for the intended design.
