MATECH Corporation

MATECH Corporation researches and develops metal fatigue detection, measurement, and monitoring technologies in the United States and internationally. The company develops devices and systems that indicate the true status of fatigue damage in a metal component. The company produces Fatigue Fuse, a device that integrates the effect of fatigue loading in a structural member. The company's Fatigue Fuse is designed to be affixed to a structure to give warnings at pre-selected percentages of the fatigue life that has been used up.
