Metallurgical Failure Analysis

Metal fracture symptomatic of a problem – unfavorable stresses and strains, improper heat treatment, metallurgical flaws, improper design or perhaps a device simply has exceeded its useful service life. Initiating corrections is based upon a proper diagnosis. Reading and understanding the fracture surface, evaluating the alloy microstructure and studying a component’s performance represent a few of our analytical tools. Completion of a project occurs when our clients receive a clean and succinct report of the technical findings.
