Measuring the physical properties of parts and raw materials can help you determine their durability and give you insight into how they will perform.  Improper machining, wrong material selection and exposure can all affect your materials and potentially cause costly failures and recalls.

MTT's mechanical testing group offers a wide range of testing to evaluate metals, polymers, composites and finished products.  From routine tensile testing to multi-stage fatigue programs, we are equipped to provide the answers you need. Most testing is completed in three days or less for routine tensiles, hardness and charpy impact testing.
