About Us

Lambda Technologies Group specializes in understanding, measurement, and control of residual stress.

Beneficial compressive residual stress applied appropriately mitigates failure mechanisms such as metal fatigue, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), pitting, fretting, and foreign object damage (FOD), among others.

Our expertise in both materials testing and life extension technologies allows us to provide you with a unique, total solutions approach to improve component life and performance.

Learn how our Process Design works and how we provide a total engineering solution for fatigue and stress corrosion cracking problems.

We have been studying materials for over four decades and have more than 150 years of combined experience with well over 20,000 research programs.

We hold numerous U.S. and international patents about residual stress measurement and surface treatments to apply designed residual compression, including our renowned Low Plasticity Burnishing (LPB®) technique.
