Insight From Metallurgy Expert Witnesses
Metallurgy expert witnesses are engineers trained in the forensic aspects of failure investigation. Since the nature of most metallic failures begins at the microscopic level, it is necessary to have an investigator capable of starting with a high level failure and working it down to the metallic original form. Often times the origin and surrounding circumstances are a de-facto witness to the proximate cause of the failure in a metallic structure. Metallurgy expert witnesses are frequently able to trace failure events back to the root cause and provide answers to the concerned parties with regard to the physical and chemical components of metallic substance along with mixtures of metallic compounds that are usually called alloys.
Locating the Best Metallurgy Expert Witness
When you first contact TASA for a metallurgy expert witness, we will discuss with you the location, time frame, experience and metallurgy expert witness credentials you need, helping you to define and refine your criteria if necessary. TASA referral advisors will then provide names of relevant metallurgy expert witnesses, forward resumes, and help arrange your initial phone interviews with the candidates you select. This saves you valuable time and helps provide metallurgy expert witnesses ready to discuss your case. We later contact you to determine if you require someone other than the experts we first refer. Most referrals are made within 24 business hours of your request. There is no charge for expert referrals unless you designate or engage an expert we refer to you. For timesaving, cost-effective referrals to the best metallurgy expert witnesses, contact us by online request form, email or phone.
