Metallurgical Engineer
A metallurgist is best
equipped to analyze a metal failure. An accident or
failure of a metal component, whether it is a simple
consumer product such as a hammer or chisel, or a
complex multi-component machine such as an airplane
or a space shuttle will normally not be a "simple"
failure. Failures are normally complex where often
two, three or more separate but necessary
circumstances or events are required to
simultaneously occur to cause the failure or
accident. A metallurgist's analysis of a metal
failure may include many of the following:
scene/site examination and documentation (including
photo documentation), evidence preservation,
library/standards/literature review, laboratory
testing, exemplar testing, engineering calculations,
data and file analysis, and report preparation.
