Metallurgy and Materials

Why has an underground metal pipeline failed? How can you tell if a metal bowl is made of the same material as a lost Doolittle B-25 aircraft? Why did a fire sprinkler head fail to operate during a fire?

Whether it's metal, glass, polymers or composites, Crane Engineering's metallurgy and materials experts identify complex materials, determine how and why materials fail – and recommend how to prevent them from failing again. The engineers work closely with the company's other disciplines and conduct the necessary tests and evaluations to ensure cost-effective responses for your needs.
