Metallurgical

Metallurgical Engineering Services has a twenty year history of providing metallurgical failure analysis services.  A metallurgical failure analysis can provide clues to the origin of a metal failure, useful for the prevention of future failures and adjudications of legal disputes.  Our experienced metallurgists can help crack even the most difficult metallurgical mysteries.  

We will begin by documenting the failure in our photography studio and stereo microscopy areas.  Our lab technicians will cross section or etch select samples for analysis by our metallurgists.  Close up examination of the failure through optical and scanning electron microscopes will provide insight into the mode of failure.  If needed, we'll employ our Auger microprobe, FTIR, or mechanical test facilities to conduct additional study of the failure.   

Our failure analysis capabilities span the following areas:
