Metallurgical Consulting Services
Different sectors of the metal manufacturing industry require faster support from their metallurgical laboratories, whether in-house or subcontracted. Manufacturer, mid-process vendor, or a final customer, different industries require metallurgical testing verification at all steps of the manufacturing process. The most important pieces of the puzzle are how fast and who will be the audience for the report.
We understand the differences. Not all third-party laboratories are the same:
- Large, multi-laboratory material testing corporations can be slow and methodical.
- Lead time depends on the particular test.
- Engineering staffs have become smaller based on baby boomer retirements.
- Smaller Labs can be faster.
- We know all the third-party testing labs and what their sweet spot is for price, turn-around, and expertise.
