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
- Non-destructive testing (NDT)
- Stress, strain, and fatigue analysis
- Corrosion monitoring systems
- Asset life-extension studies
- 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%.
