Hire an experienced metallurgical engineer by the hour in one of the following areas:

What is in common between these areas?  First, metal chemistry.  Second, process engineering.  Third, electrochemistry.  And finally, economics. 

Techno-Economic Models

For many jobs, we can provide a complete solution. If not, we will provide you some practical advice in these areas.  From experience, we will attempt to ask the right questions to your technical team and let them direct the final solution.  We are interested in being part of the solution and in helping your team build confidence and a methodology for addressing such problems on their own in the future.

If wanted, we can provide training in the fundamentals or assist you in finding the appropriate corrosion testing, engineering support, or other services necessary to reach to a final solution to your problem if it is outside the scope of services that we can deliver.  We can subcontract the service for you or we can direct you to the provider.  In short, we want to use our experience to help lead your team to the solution.

Of course, if we do not feel that we have the skills to help you, we will do our best to direct you to someone we believe is more qualified to deal with the challenges in front of you.
