Component Material Characterization


What We Do -
Our focus is on pressure-sensitive materials that require high-pressure, triaxial test capability for complete characterization.
  • Active ceramics
  • Potting materials
  • Ceramic armor
  • Ceramic and metal powders
  • Shock mitigating foams and structural components
