Failure Analysis & Metallurgy

Failure & Root-Cause Analysis

Systematic failure investigation for piping, pipelines and pressure equipment — damage characterization, operating-history review and root-cause determination, with corrective actions that prevent recurrence rather than treat symptoms. We also provide expert support for incident investigations.

Metallurgical Assessment & Material Selection

Material selection and qualification for new designs and changed service — strength, toughness and corrosion performance matched to design temperature, pressure and process chemistry, in line with CSA Z662, ASME and NACE / AMPP requirements.

Welding Metallurgy

Metallurgical support for welding engineering — weldability assessment, heat-affected-zone hardness and hydrogen-cracking risk, and post-weld heat-treatment requirements — feeding directly into our welding-procedure and repair work.

Laboratory Testing Coordination

Specification and coordination of mechanical and metallurgical laboratory testing — tensile, hardness, Charpy, chemistry and metallography — with engineering interpretation of the results in the context of the assessment or failure at hand.
