Tap into trusted Metallurgical Expertise

In preparation for the launch of a new product, there is always plenty of planning and decisions that need to be made. Ulbrich offers our experienced Metallurgy staff in order to make this process easier for customers. This can include something as simple as making sure the correct spec is built into the part and ensuring Ulbrich has the ability to test anything that is called out within the spec. Often, planning will also include research and development, which gets more into alloy selection and what tolerances will be required to run smoothly on your machines. Choosing an alloy is usually a very tough decision to make for many companies and having a knowledgeable team of metallurgists and engineers ready to offer help can make life a lot easier for all parties involved.

Once material has been produced and shipped, it is time for follow up and support. If something didn't work the way expected, we will determine the root cause. If material worked great, Ulbrich can lock in that process routing so all future material is produced the same way. We can look at the material and process after the fact and provide:

• Metallurgical Failure Analysis
• Process adjustment
• Support for market changes
• Support for business changes

Working with our customer on an ongoing product allows us to increase yields and plan for future item replacements. Transparent and open communication will help both parties and allow for a true partnership.
