Processing Problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
