Aerospaces ServicesOur aerospace services include:
Many of our investigations have pertained to quality control of aircraft components. Engine overheating conditions of only a short duration, for instance, may be sufficient to significantly alter turbine blades, and thus, endanger the safety of the aircraft. Metallographic techniques are used to determine if an over-temperature condition exists and SEM/EDS is used to develop engine profiles.  Matco has evaluated and examined major aircraft components such as: turbine blades, engine bearings, landing gears,SCC testing of alumnium alloys, failure analysis, short-circuiting of electrical components, ground equipment failures, APU components, flight control cables,and structural components of: 
 
The Next Step While Matco has the expertise and the technology to resolve even the most difficult material failures, your input is greatly needed for a complete analysis. By giving us a full description of the problem and filling out the sample identification/submittal form you can be assured that all aspects of your project will be fully considered. Solutions are just around the corner at Matco. As one of the premier testing and inspection facilities featuring state of the art equipment, Matco Associates is able to provide a unique and diverse blend of services. Virtually thousands of investigations have been performed at Matco Associates, which range from jet engines and boiler tubes, to computer components and implants. Projects are not only conducted from initiation to completion with competent and experienced personnel, but conducted in a discrete manner that ensures confidentiality as well.
72 Hour Rush Service MATCO CLIENTS IN THE PUBLIC EYE, MATCO BEHIND THE SCENES
Although Matco's work is vital to its clients, it is rarely seen by the public. Here are some examples of recent jobs in which Matco provided the timely, competent, customer-oriented engineering analysis that made the difference.

As a world-class testing and failure analysis laboratory, Matco has collaborated with the FAA and DER’s
to provide top-of-the-line service to the airline industry. We have determined the root cause of failures
and responded expeditiously and efficiently in an impressively broad area of aircraft applications. We have
been called in, for example, by a major airline when they were faced with emergency inspections of jack screws
on DC9 and MD 80 aircrafts. We have also performed engine chip analysis and fuel contamination studies to
determine if engine removal was necessary for aircraft waiting at an airport. In the course of these
investigations, we have examined engine bearing failures, stress corrosion of landing gear, avionic components,
dendritic corrosion short-circuiting and ground equipment failures, APU components, flight control cables,
fuselage and structure components, and many more.
