Among the greatest engineering achievements in recent history has been the development of high-performance materials. These materials, which include certain metals, polymers, composites, and ceramics, have formed the building blocks that have revolutionized many industries. The application of these materials is enabled by an in-depth understanding of their properties and behaviors.
Materials Development
Equipped with expertise in both metallic and non-metallic materials, a full array of laboratory testing capabilities, and state-of-the-art equipment, The M&P Lab can play a vital role in material development and characterization of physical and chemical properties. We provide product designers with the high-confidence data they need to take full advantage of advanced material properties.
Our experts have extensive experience with high-temperature superalloys, various metals, and non-metallic composite materials.
Manufacturing Support
Most manufacturing industries are competing on a globally-competitive playing field, where success requires lowest cost, highest quality, and the ability to quickly respond to changes in the market. Laboratory testing may help reduce material costs, the occurrence of costly errors, and production downtime.
How The M&P Lab can help:
- Troubleshooting: Let our experienced analysts guide you through the discovery process. Together you will decide what materials should be tested and what tests should be performed to rapidly identify the root causes for producing out-of-spec products, and bring production back in-line quickly.
- Raw Material/Component Acceptance testing: Through analytical testing, The M&P Lab can ensure that incoming raw materials or parts from your suppliers meet your specifications, through spot audits or on a recurring basis.
- New Supplier/New Material Qualification: The M&P Lab’s materials experts can prepare specimens for examination, or conduct the entire evaluation to validate that materials and components from new suppliers meet your specifications and will not be detrimental to your manufacturing processes.
- Qualification of Process Changes: Ensure that new processes and changes to existing processes are delivering results in compliance with specifications through product testing.
In most of these situations, response time is critical.
The M&P Lab can provide turn-around times to meet clients’ needs.
