Matthew J. Perricone, Ph.D. Email & Phone Number

Expert in Materials Science with emphasis on root cause failure analysis of materials of all types in applications spanning multiple industrial sectors including transportation, energy generation, medical devices, building products, steel manufacturing, welding and joining, and coatings. Leads third party scientific investigations in support of clientele in business/contractual disputes, warranty claim resolution, quality assurance process evaluation, and product liability matters. Testified as an expert in federal court in multiple states. Author of multiple peer reviewed publications including the recently published book “Atlas of Microstructures for Alloy C-276 and Similar Casting Alloys”. Early career focus on physical metallurgy and corrosion resistance of stainless steels for applications of interest for the USDOD and USDOE.Team leader of multi-disciplinary senior-scientific staff. Technical lead and project manager for many root cause investigations that involve teams of scientists and technicians for site inspections, field analyses, sample collection, and laboratory analysis. Project examples include determination of the corrosive impact from building materials emissions on residential systems (including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, appliances), root cause failure analysis of concrete runway pavements, system-level assessments for power plant corrosion issues, evaluation of concrete railroad tie performance, and corrosion assessments of cell phone towers. Designed and directed multiple accelerated life testing projects in simulated service environments for remaining life assessment. Frequent volunteer on committee leadership, peer reviewer for publications, and presenter at technical conferences.
