Proto designs and manufactures residual stress and applied stress analysis systems that can be used in the field and under extreme environmental conditions. Based on x-ray diffraction , the systems measure residual stress nondestructively and quantiatively - allowing Residual Stress Tracking© on products before and after various manufacturing processes as well as over the life of the product. Proto also provides comprehensive laboratory services, and can travel to make stress analysis and retained austenite measurements on location with their portable equipment.


Residual stress plays an important role in fatigue life, distortion, available component load limits, crack propagation, stress corrosion cracking, and crack initiation. It is therefore not surprising that characterizing and managing residual stress can offer the following benefits: - reduce maintenance costs - reduce material costs - improve product quality - optimize product life - shorten your design cycle - get your product to market faster - reduce liability costs - reduce testing costs - improve your bottom line
