Rhode Island metallurgist expert witnesses analyze metal failures and material performance for disputes involving manufacturing, construction, and marine environments. Many are credentialed engineers and lab directors with backgrounds in corrosion science, welding metallurgy, and fracture mechanics. In Rhode Island, their work often reflects port operations at Quonset and regional metal fabrication. They assess fatigue, heat-treatment defects, stress corrosion cracking, and code compliance.

This highly qualified engineer's expertise is in metallurgy and corrosion science and engineering. He has extensive experience in litigation and litigation support as well as extensive experience in pro-active client work. He specializes in failure analysis, corrosion failure analysis, material degradation, failure prevention, material selection, material characterization, and laboratory testing. He has conducted research and failure analyses involving uniform corrosion, localized corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, hydrogen embrittlement, fretting corrosion, formicary corrosion, graphitic corrosion, and galvanic corrosion. He has extensive experience solving complex corrosion problems using AC and DC electrochemical techniques, accelerated exposure techniques (environmental exposure and accelerated environments), material characterization techniques (microscopy and elemental analysis), metallographic examination, fractography, on-site investigations, and failure analysis.
