Perth, Western Australia. Consulting since 1992.
Metallurgical testing, failure analysis and materials consulting for mining, rail, marine and heavy mechanical equipment.
35 years experience in the specification, manufacture, operation and failure analysis of a large range of plant and machinery components allows us to evaluate and recommend materials and manufacturing processes for manufacture of original and replacement parts.
Materials consulting
We can carry out failure analysis to determine the mode and cause of failure of machinery components and structures. This includes site evaluations, examination of components or samples removed in our Perth laboratory.
Failure analysis
Repair procedures for rebuilding worn, cracked and damaged major components can be developed using information gained by non destructive material identification using our portable spectrometer and portable hardness tester.

Our laboratory and workshop is located in Perth, Western Australia. In this laboratory we can handle 1 tonne components on pallets, prepare sections and samples from these and carry out a range of metallurgical testing as required for failure analysis work and quality testing.
Workshop equipment includes mechanical hacksaw, 14″ metallurgical water cooled cut off machine, and sample preparation equipment for metallography and hardness testing. Modern state of the art microscopes and hardness testers allow full documentation and recording of results obtained.
