Metallurgy Services

The firm specializes in metallurgical failure analysis of products and components from the most simple ‘system’ such as a step ladder or a hunter’s tree stand, to complex ones, including missile guidance systems and corrosion at a new utility plant in Cali, Colombia.

Failure Analysis & Liability

The inability of a system, product, or component to reliably perform the function for which it was designed constitutes failure.

Contributory Causes

Contributory causes range from design deficiency and material selection to improper service usage and human performance.
