CONTRACT R&D 
Bring
us your requirements. We can develop the best matrix of candidate
materials to perform in your application. We can subject these
candidate materials (perhaps coupled with candidate designs)
to extreme environments in order to ascertain lifetime characteristics
in a relatively short period of time. All testing and analysis
will be proprietary to your organization.
Composite
materials is rapidly becoming an MTL specialty. MTL has hand
lay-up and autoclave capabilities to assist you with your
program needs. We can also arrange for filament winding and
low temperature storage if required. Sample prep is accomplished
in our full machine shop. MTL has two lathes, two milling
machines, two drill presses, two band saws, as well as grinding
and routing (tensilecut) capabilities. |
IN-HOUSE R&D
MTL
performs self-funded R&D on materials and processes,
which may have wide market applications. Our business
plan calls for us the periodically spin-off companies
to take advantage of the IP we develop. The first example
of our business plan in action is TRUOX Inc. Click the
