Leveraging Metals Science

Missed opportunities

Millions of components are made of metal. Yet, metals engineering is often under-leveraged by engineering teams. The result - missed opportunities to quickly fix component reliability and quality problems. Instead, problems linger while schedules slip and costs add up.

Knowledge gap

We’ve worked with hundreds of engineers at different companies. They are good, smart engineers who understand key principles of product design and manufacturing. But there’s a knowledge gap – most haven’t had much metallurgy training or experience with the analytical methods used for failure analysis of metal components. So, they don’t know how to get the information needed to solve quality and reliability problems. As a result, problems linger.

Closing the gap

This is where we come in. We provide metals engineering expertise to help engineering teams quickly fix problems. We work with engineering teams to help with failure analysis and root cause analysis when

  • Components fail during product testing and use.
  • Manufacturing and supplier quality problems arise.

We also offer metallurgy and metals engineering training that covers practical aspects of metallurgy and metals engineering and is geared to design, manufacturing, and quality engineers.

Transformative

Applying metals engineering to solve reliability and quality problems is not a new idea, but it is transformative.  It enables minimizing costs of problems, making faster decisions, and improved productivity. Product design and manufacturing is complicated. Why not take advantage of every tool available to make things easier and gain a competitive advantage?
