Metallurgical Engineering and Chemistry
Into the secrets of materials
THE CHEMISTRY OF CAUSES, THE METALLURGY OF EFFECTS
We investigate the chemical and metallurgical phenomena behind failures, alterations, or performance issues. Our rigorous approach is based on laboratory analyses, specialized inspections, and a solid understanding of materials. From the early signs of corrosion or contamination to critical rupture, nothing escapes our expert eye.
MATERIALS UNDER THE MICROSCOPE
Understanding materials, their transformations and behavior is our specialty. Whether it involves corrosion, metal failure, chemical contamination, or product analysis, our team combines materials science and applied chemistry to diagnose the root causes of problems. With precision and method, we reveal the invisible to better guide your investigation.

Our Areas of Expertise
By means of a rigorous scientific approach, our metallurgical engineers and forensic chemists analyze materials to determine the causes of failures, breakages, or abnormal corrosion. By combining technical expertise with precise laboratory analysis methods, they identify failure mechanisms and provide objective evidence essential to our clients’ investigations.
Chemistry
- External influences that may compromise products and objects
- Contact with incompatible substances
- Oxidative aging or photodegradation
- Contamination of food and consumer products
Corrosion
- Causes of corrosion at the origin of most incidents
- Damage related to harsh environments, contamination, or synergistic effects
- Normal or unexpected wear, roles of multiple aggravating factors
Materials / Metallurgy
- Failure modes
- Inadequate manufacturing processes
- Improper handling, installation, or use
- Failures of industrial machinery components
- Leaks in commercial and residential plumbing systems
- Verification of quality control procedures
