Our full-time staff metallurgists provide value to our customers by answering questions on specifications and material selection. That may involve evaluating customer requirements and advising what materials, grades or processes will satisfy them. It may involve advising on expected product performance and limitations. These experts even have the ability to forensically analyze failures and apply their knowledge to claims or to recommend alternate grades for better performance.

And, of course, they review mill reports to assure that the metals we supply conform to the published specifications in our stock list.
