LOS ANGELES, Sept.30, 1999 (PRIMEZONE) - Material Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:MTEY) announced today that it has made significant technological progress toward validating its Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) measurement technology, the technology dedicated to measuring fatigue damage in existing structural members, announced the Company's president, Robert M. Bernstein.
After several years of research and development, a consistent approach has been found for dealing with alloys used in the aircraft industry. While the Company successfully had found appropriate techniques earlier for low strength metals, it had not been able to work with high strength aluminum, steel and titanium alloys. The significance of the breakthrough is that it opens the Company to commercialization opportunities in the airframe structure and turbine marketplace.
"With the recent advancement in fatigue measurement capability, we can now provide rational approaches for some of the toughest problems they contend with in aging aircraft fleets and turbine engine inventories," Bernstein explained. "Other developments have indicated that the means for portable measurements in 'field' conditions are within reach. Science has pursued the quest for practical fatigue measurements for at least a century. MATECH now has the means to perform the measurement even for components for which the loading history is not known," he concluded.
MATECH is engaged in research and development of metal fatigue monitoring technologies. The Company is located at 11661 San Vicente Blvd., Suite #707, Los Angeles, CA 90049. For more information call 310-208-5589 or E-mail to tensiodyne@worldnet.att.net.
