Materials Engineering

Characterization, failure and materials selection.

Characterization, failure analysis, and materials selection — from a chemical engineer with graduate training in manufacturing systems and over ten years in materials and processes, with real projects in Ashby-method selection and DOE to solve chronic defects.

The problem we solve

What it's for.

Choosing a material, understanding why a part failed, or why a tool wears out too soon takes organized technical evidence, not hunches. We support characterization, selection, and failure analysis, and organize the findings into a clear report that backs the decision with data.

Materials Engineering — León & Asociados LLC
Ideal for

This fits you if…

Engineering teams

Need to select or validate materials with technical evidence.

Operations with recurring failures

A part keeps failing and nobody has organized the investigation.

Technical projects

Need evidence organized into a clear findings report.

Honest limits

What this service does not include.

Laboratory testing (microscopy, mechanical testing): you conduct those analyses
PE (Professional Engineer) certification or regulated engineering services
Material durability or performance guarantee in service
Ongoing technical support or implementation supervision
Legal liability for field performance: the report is technical, not a performance guarantee
How we work

A clear process, step by step.

Initial diagnosis

A free conversation about your operation, your data and the result you are after.

Scope and proposal

We define deliverables, timeline and price in writing before starting.

Phased execution

We work in short iterations, with visible progress you can review at each delivery.

Validation with data

We measure the result against the baseline: improvement is shown with numbers, not promised.

Handoff and transfer

You receive the documented result, and your team the knowledge to sustain it without us.

Investment

Scope first, price after.

DiagnosisWe map your operation and its baseline first
MethodProcess + technology, with a defined scope
Measurable resultDeliverables and KPIs your team can sustain
Custom quote
Final scope is defined after an initial call.

Not regulated engineering practice or PE services.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Shall we talk about your project?

Initial conversation with no commitment. Tell us what you need and we'll tell you how we can help — and if it's not our thing, we'll point you in the right direction.
