  Metallurgy Consulting & investigation Offering advice on the following: * Investigation of mechanical failures to determine cause and offer a possible solution. * Give advice on steel selection & optimum hardness levels for a particular application. * Access to steel analysis & identification of grades & hardness levels. * Advice on heat treatment methods for most grades of steel, aluminium etc to achieve a suitable level, including case hardening, hardening & tempering,annealing & stress relieving. * Assist with corrosion problems. * 30 years in metallurgical industries including - chief metallurgist controlling metallurgy & chemical laboratories. * Research into tungsten carbide applications. * Weld repairs advice, including cast iron * Manager of a large heat treatment works. The processes there covered gas & pack carburising, hardening & tempering, normalising, annealing, age hardening & stress relieving. We also carried out a range of hardness testing & surface testing for surface discontinuities. * Have a coxswain certificate to control a commercial vessel up to 12m or 40'.
