Materials & Consumables Advisory

Our Materials & Consumables Advisory helps you select and specify the optimal metals, fillers, coatings, and ancillary consumables for performance, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness across manufacturing and repair applications. We evaluate material properties, supply-chain availability, traceability/lot control, and regulatory or code requirements, and provide test/qualification plans and vendor recommendations. We can also recommend materials for cladding, wear resistance and protection. Clear specifications and procurement guidance reduce risk, improve weldability and longevity, and lower total lifecycle cost.
