MTIS applies materials engineering judgement to industrial components and assets — built on real-world, sector-specific experience — deepest in energy and process industries, and applied across aerospace, rail, insurance and heavy industry. The mechanics of failure do not respect sector boundaries; our experience concentrates where the stakes are highest.
Failure investigation, corrosion interpretation and materials judgement for oil-and-gas components: pipelines, vessels, valves, pumps, welds, bolting and coatings.
Read more →Boiler tubes, heat exchangers, pipework and rotating equipment — supporting restart, recurrence and repair-or-replace decisions.
Read more →Welding quality, heat-treatment errors, material substitution and supplier-quality questions — independent technical facts for commercial decisions.
Read more →Beyond the three above and the four below, MTIS has consulted on components from wider industrial contexts — where a problem is materials-shaped, the method transfers. If your sector is not listed, describe the problem and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
The same evidence-led method, applied with sector-specific judgement. We publish no named client examples without clearance.
Component and material verification, fastener and fatigue questions, and manufacturing-quality investigations where airworthiness-grade traceability matters. MTIS works within its consultancy scope: materials evidence, mechanism identification and independent verification — supporting, not replacing, the certification processes that govern flight hardware.
Rolling-stock and infrastructure component failures: axle, wheel and bogie component questions, rail and fastening wear and fatigue, weld quality and maintenance-driven damage. Rail assets combine high cycle counts with long service lives — exactly the territory where fatigue, wear and materials substitution questions accumulate.
Independent technical explanations of materials failures for insurers and loss adjusters: what failed, by what mechanism, and what the evidence supports — reported in plain language a claims file can use. MTIS provides technical findings in commercial terms; we do not provide legal services or expert-witness testimony, and our reports say exactly what the evidence can and cannot establish.
Plant and structural steelwork, lifting equipment, earth-moving and mining components, gears, shafts and wear parts: failure investigation, repair-decision support and materials selection for the equipment that takes the hardest loads on the site.
If your problem involves industrial materials and components, describe it — the answer is usually in the same evidence.
