25 Years and Still Growing
We are celebrating 25+ years at MEE. Sometime in our first year we were given a small potted plant for our lobby. Twenty six years, three facilities expansions and one re-potting later, MEE and the schefflera are going strong!
MEE Intern Updates
Congratulations to former MEE intern, Reid Schur, on the publication of his paper Fractographic Analysis of Additvely Manufactured Ti6A14V by Electron Beam Melting: Effects of Powder Reuse in the June 2020 issue of the Journal of Failure Analysis and Prevention. Reid was a senior in Mechanical Engineering at Washington University in St Louis when he […]
On-site Testing and Analysis of Steel Tanks
Sometimes projects involve samples or artifacts too large or too valuable to remove or cut for evaluation in MEE’s laboratories. In these cases, in situ evaluation is required. For this project, MEE was asked to evaluate the functional integrity of large steel tanks that had been exposed to elevated temperatures from a fire. Associate […]
