San Luis Obispo, CA –
Companies seeking metallurgical services and legal firms seeking expert witness testimony relating to metallurgy and product failure have no choice but to look beyond the confines of their own staff. Most operations do not have anyone on staff that’s got the specialized skill and knowledge required to accomplish these tasks or explain them to the layperson. This is when it is time to contact someone like David Niebuhr of Niebuhr Metallurgical Consulting. Niebuhr, who has extensive training and professional experience with metallurgical testing, materials engineering, and failure analysis, is able to break complicated matters and issues down and explain to both professionals and non-professionals situations, unusual circumstances, and problems his work brings to light.
Niebuhr Metallurgical Consulting handles failure analysis testing. This sort of testing is essential for many companies in the research and development phase of manufacturing, but it can unfortunately become a very pressing matter in court cases involving some kind of product failure. One of Dr. Niebuhr’s specialities is aviation failure, a notoriously complex type of unfortunate product failure.
Companies that are in the process of developing a new product and are concerned with prototype failures will want a professional analysis of the prototype. Niebuhr Metallurgical Consulting can step in to handle this type of situation. The company can be hired for single, isolated projects; alternately, Niebuhr Metallurgical Consulting can be available on a retainer to assure a company or organization that the services will be available to them for an ongoing period of time.
RoHS/WEEE laws are changing how many companies handle their R&D processes, and again, this is an area where David Niebuhr’s organization can be of assistance. These laws, which are standard in Europe and becoming more prominent in the U.S., regulate levels of lead and mercury and other toxic contaminants found in electrical and electronic components and how these components are disposed of when they reach the end of their lifecycle. The EU’s RoHS/WEEE laws are not exactly what are being implemented in the U.S., but regulations along similar lines, and addressing the same concerns, are being developed, and companies that are planning ahead are making notes on RoHS/WEEE accordingly. Niebhuhr Metallurgical Consulting is capable of guiding companies toward being fully prepared for RoHS/WEEE type laws.
