Lambda Technologies-Laboratory Services (LAMBDA-LS) operates a world-class laboratory facility and is the pre-eminent source of residual stress measurement and analysis worldwide. LAMBDA-LS delivers quality driven, reliable results in a timely manner to a wide range of industrial, government, and academic clients. Unique x-ray diffraction, finite element (FE), and mechanical methods have been developed for the study of residual stress formation. Process development using Taguchi techniques and surface integrity studies to document the resulting fatigue and stress corrosion behavior are performed on a wide variety of alloys.
A broad array of x-ray diffraction and fluorescence testing capabilities are maintained for materials applications primarily in the areas of qualitative and quantitative phase analysis and texture determination. Direct access to our fully equipped machine shop with modern CNC tooling, supports the surface integrity studies of manufacturing methods. The methods and instrumentation, which are most appropriate for the expedient and accurate gathering of research data, will be employed in all cases, whether commercially available or developed internally.
