Materials Failure & Reliability Analysis
Root-cause investigation of failures, degradation and unexpected behaviour in metals, alloys and coatings — with a mechanism, not just an observation.
Consulting & Impact
Turning materials evidence into technical decisions — for research teams, engineering groups and decision-makers who need to know why a material behaves the way it does.
Root-cause investigation of failures, degradation and unexpected behaviour in metals, alloys and coatings — with a mechanism, not just an observation.
Choosing the right technique for the question: SEM, EBSD/OIM, EDX, XRD, SIMS, indentation — and knowing what each one cannot tell you.
Grain-boundary diffusion, segregation, atomic transport and interface stability under thermal and mechanical service conditions.
Deposition routes, film structure, interface quality and process-dependent behaviour for surface-driven technologies.
Connecting processing history and microstructure to the property targets that actually matter for the application.
Experimental planning, data interpretation and clear technical reporting for scientific and non-specialist stakeholders.
How an engagement runs
What decision are you actually trying to make? That sets which measurement is worth doing.
The right technique for the question — and honesty about what each one cannot tell you.
A mechanism, its uncertainty, and a recommendation you can act on. Not just a data dump.
