		Whether it requires identifying the contamination which is causing a processing problem, understanding why two lots of material process differently, or troubleshooting a sophisticated process, we can help get you back in production.
		If required, we can come to your facility and meet with your manufacturing, quality and engineering staffs.
		We will isolate the problem and determine the important variables.
		We can then gather the proper samples to perform metallurgical laboratory analysis and set up experiments to evaluate potential solutions.
		Finally, we will assist you in implementing corrective action.
		Our knowledge and experience in metals, polymers, processing, manufacturing, general engineering, process mapping and problem solving give us the tools to work with you to solve your processing problems.

		The worlds of materials and manufacturing are intertwined. Proper materials and controlled processing techniques lead to the creation of quality products. But when either the material or processing is not under control, problems arise. Often seemingly subtle changes in processing parameters or incoming material quality can lead to disastrous results.
