FAILURE ANALYSIS
At HURST METALLURGICAL, our staff members have extensive experience and knowledge in conducting metallurgical analyses of small components of an assembly to large system failures to plant explosions in order to determine the root cause of failure, and to provide corrective recommendations for preventing failures and improving system performance.
Since 1973, we have conducted trouble-shooting and metallurgical analyses to solve the problems of thousands of different products. These include pistons, rods, shafts, bearings, fasteners, gears, springs, heat exchangers, orthopedic implants, pipelines, tanks, impellers, tools, valves, etc. involving weldments, steel castings, forgings, cold forming processes and iron castings made of steels, stainless steels, aluminum alloys, copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium alloys and zinc alloys. In-plant consultation and troubleshooting is available from our experienced metallurgical staff members to solve your manufacturing problems at very competitive rates. A comprehensive metallurgical test protocol and a fee estimate based on the initial examination of the failed component or system is provided for your approval. |
