MPP Technology Center
 | | A sample is tested for tensile strength on the tensile tester machine in the MPP Technology Center. | An integral part of MPP's headquarters facilities is one of the industry's premier technical centers - the MPP Technology Center. The mission of the Technology Center includes: - Development of proprietary products and processes
- Material development, including the development of new alloys and composites
- Testing of unconventional compaction techniques such as Precision Cold Forming
- Prototyping
- Support of divisional engineering and technical functions
- Development of new sintering techniques
The Technology Center boasts a number of sintering furnaces, presses, a machine shop, and a state-of-the-art Instrument Laboratory. The Instrument Lab employs an impressive array of instruments, including: stereo microphotography for microstructure analysis, carbon/oxygen/nitrogen analyzers, microhardness testing equipment, coordinate measuring machines, equipment to measure tensile and impact strength, and proprietary equipment to evaluate wear resistance on bearing materials.
