John Cassidy's Company Details

Lambda Technologies Group specializes in the understanding, measurement, and control of residual stress. Beneficial, compressive residual stress applied appropriately to critical components can mitigate 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 our customers with a unique, total solutions approach to improve component life and performance. Lambda offers both a world-class residual stress measurement laboratory and an X-ray testing facility, as well as a multi-faceted engineering and production enterprise for applying surface treatment solutions. Low Plasticity Burnishing (LPB) is our patented and most popular surface treatment solution to introduce compressive residual stress into critical components. It offers numerous benefits over traditional surface treatment services, such as shot peening and laser peening. LPB has received the R&D 100 Award for revolutionary ideas in science and technology, the John P. Davis Award from the International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI), and the NASA Hallmark of Success Award. Lambda clients include NASA, NAVAIR, the Spanish military, Delta, U.S. Steel, and more. LPB technology is approved by the FAA, the U.S. Airforce Engine Structural Integrity Program, and the FDA.
