Metals & Materials Engineering: Innovation at the Core of Industry

Introduction

Metals and materials engineering focuses on the development, testing, selection, and optimization of materials used in engineering systems — particularly in extreme environments like mining, energy, and infrastructure projects. It’s about strength, durability, corrosion resistance, cost-efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Moran Engineering offers full-cycle solutions, from materials selection to structural integrity assessment, especially for industrial, mining, and energy applications where failure is not an option.


What We Do

  • Material Selection & Testing: Matching the right alloys or composites to the job.
  • Failure Analysis: Investigating mechanical failures and recommending corrective actions.
  • Corrosion Control: Designing coatings, cathodic systems, and maintenance plans.
  • Welding & Fabrication Consultation: Specifying processes for structural reliability.

Our Services Include

  1. Non-destructive testing (NDT)
  2. Stress, strain, and fatigue analysis
  3. Corrosion monitoring systems
  4. Asset life-extension studies
  5. Custom alloy consulting (nickel, titanium, stainless)

📊 Projects in Action

Oil & Gas Pipeline – Darwin

Our metallurgists identified early-stage corrosion in steel piping and applied internal linings, extending pipe life by 8 years.

Mining Equipment Refit – PNG Highlands

Failure analysis revealed microfracturing in excavator arms. Switched to high-manganese alloy components, reducing breakdowns by 60%.
