Metallurgical consulting, failure analysis, and training

We help clients solve engineering problems related to the metals used in products, equipment, and structures. For over 25 years, we have worked with clients to find solutions to design and manufacturing decisions and problems based on metallurgical engineering principles. Our systems and processes have been used with clients from all over the world. How we approach each situation is shared on this website. Great communication and teamwork are cornerstones for our team working with yours.

We also offer metallurgy training for non-metallurgists that is geared to design, manufacturing, and quality engineers.

Failure Analysis when you need a problem fixed now

A great deal of what we do for clients is failure analysis. They are looking for answers to difficult questions. So, it is natural that they are looking for a specialist with failure analysis skills - a metallurgical engineer. They are also looking for someone with the engineering skills to help them use the failure analysis results to identify and fix the root cause of the failure. Determining the metallurgical reason for a failure and then working with the client to determine the root cause and approaches to prevent recurrence is very meaningful.

For each client, the need or problem is unique, but the path forward is the same. Our 6-step failure analysis process is a proven process that has worked for clients for over 25 years. Examples of past failure analysis projects are here.

Learn more about our unique failure analysis process, which is one of the many ways we serve our metallurgical consulting clients. We also provide expert witness support for legal cases. 

Metallurgy Training

Another joy of my profession is to share my knowledge with others. Not only as a published author on metallurgy, but through my metallurgy training courses. Each course was created in response to real world needs and demands.

Most engineers want practical knowledge that will help them deal with common, real-world situations. Many poeple find the courses helpful not only to get a better understanding of the topics covered, but to see problems and challenges from a different perspective. 

What is Metallurgy?

Metallurgy is the study of the science of metals. It involves understanding the relationship between the properties of metals and their composition, their microstructure, and manufacturing processes used to shape and form metals.

This understanding enables us develop alloys, develop manufacturing capable of producing metals and fabricating components, and design and make a huge variety of engineered devices and structures. Learn more about how metallurgical engineering fits in with product design and manufacturing.
