Technical

Our engineering staff can provide fast and accurate support for all you technical service needs.

Third Party Analysis

Our facility includes 8000 ft2 of office space, conference area, laboratory, and machine shop all available to conduct third party inspections. With the assistance technicians provided by MMT, independent consultants, litigators, and other parties have access to the on-site testing equipment.  Wireless internet is available throughout the facility.

Routine Testing / Quality Verification

MMT gives you the answers you need on material properties, performance, strength, durability and corrosion covering metals, composites, and polymers. Our materials testing capabilities include materials selection, materials performance and failure analysis, using both destructive and non-destructive testing.

Mechanical Testing

Our testing is performed per any and all relevant standards and or procedures.

Our mechanical services include:

  • Hardness Testing
  • Tensile Testing
  • Other services (including outsourced)

Chemical Testing

MMT has the capability of determining the composition using one of two methods: Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy.

OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY

MMT uses a spark source to excite energy, which causes electrons in sample to emit light. This allows MMT to provide accurate metal elemental composition.

ENERGY DISPERSIVE SPECTROSCOPY 

In conjunction with scanning electron microscope, the EDS uses a scanning electron beam to excite atoms of an unknown material.  The x-ray emitted from the sample characterizes the elemental composition.

Metallurgical Testing

Our metallurgical services include acquiring and interpreting data from MMT’s sophisticated equipment.  Common uses for metallurgical services include quality assurance, failure analysis, litigation support and third party analysis.

Our services are performed per any and all relevant standards and or procedures.

  • Microstructural assessment
  • Metallography
  • Image analysis
  • Scanning electron microscopy
  • Hardness testing
  • Case depth measurement
  • Grain size measurement
  • Inclusion rating

Non-Destructive Testing

Non- destructive tests offered by MMT include:

  • Ultrasonic testing
  • Dye penetrant testing
  • Magnetic particle testing
  • Visual examination

Typical uses for EDS include:

  • Foreign material analysis
  • Corrosion evaluation
  • Coating composition analysis
