Metal Corrosion Expert Witnesses

Are you searching for a knowledgeable and trusted metal corrosion expert witness? Metal corrosion may occur in a wide array of metal structures and products, which can lead to several types of lawsuits. Metal corrosion occurs when metal is exposed to different types of elements, such as sulfates or oxygen, resulting in rust and other forms of deterioration. Metal corrosion expert consulting may provide essential information for cases involving such issues as metals and alloys, metallurgy, failure analysis, product development, product defect, structural defect, construction defect, materials engineering, materials science, mechanical design, corrosion engineering, testing and reliability, coatings, sealants, fracture analysis, fracture mechanics, chemistry, chemical engineering, chemical reaction, composite materials, and other disciplines pertaining to metal and corrosion, each of which may be at the center of a possible metal corrosion lawsuit.

Many metal corrosion experts come from a background in the field of corrosion engineering, which focuses on how to prevent corrosion from damaging different metals. Metal corrosion expert witnesses have also often worked with marine corrosion, water quality, equipment failure, hydraulics, steam piping, fire prevention systems, undersea cable, metallurgical engineering, pipelines, structure failures, bridges, building engineering, construction engineering, structural engineering, steel, mechanical testing, welding, heavy metals, scrap metal, and other related areas.

For more than twenty years, attorneys have been turning to ForensisGroup to be connected with skilled and credible experts from across the United States. Learn more by contacting our office today.
