Fretting fatigue in modular hip and knee implants isn’t just a design challenge, it’s a patient safety issue.

This case study shows how applying LPB® to biomedical implants can significantly improve durability by preventing fretting-related failures.

As global interest in nuclear power grows, so does the need for reliable long-term waste containment.

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in welded storage vessels remains a critical challenge, one that can threaten containment integrity over thousands of years. In our article published in RadWaste Solutions, we revisit how Controlled Plasticity Burnishing (CPB) and Low Plasticity Burnishing (LPB®) extend vessel life far beyond design limits by eliminating tensile stress at the surface.

Originally developed for the Yucca Mountain project, this approach remains highly relevant today as the industry expands clean energy production and reconsiders long-term storage strategies. Read the full article, “Securing the Future,” published by the American Nuclear Society.

High cycle fatigue is a common failure mode in metal components—but it doesn't have to be.

Learn what causes it, how to identify it, and how engineered surface solutions like LPB® can stop it before it starts.

The act of welding induces stress into the material, so metal fabricators employ various methods to mitigate it. One technique is low-plasticity burnishing, a high-tech cousin of the old-school burnishing process.
