About MechAction

Mech.Action: We take Actions in Mechanical Testing!

 

Enthusiastic about mechanical applications in the nano and micro scale, we founded MechAction, Inc. in Greater Boston, one of the prosperous tech centers in the US, to provide the most professional and quickest testing and consulting services via our expertise in nanomechanical analyses.

 

MechAction Laboratory provides a wide range of testing services to both academia and industrial communities. The functions include Nano/Micro-Indentation, Nano/Micro-Scratch, Vickers Hardness, Friction/Wear, and many other up-to-date materials characterization techniques. Our testing and consulting services are widely employed by customers who need to measure the surface mechanical and tribological properties of materials such as metals, alloys, ceramics, composites, textiles, plastics, and polymers, existing in formats of thin films, coatings, nanostructures, and micro/macro structures.

 

Our team has profound materials knowledge and extensive hands-on experiences in operating various mechanical and material characterization systems. We use our specific expertise to provide customers with the most accurate and professional analytical reports and specimen evaluations.

 

MechAction is also partnering with innovative instrumented mechanical testing manufacturers across North America and Europe in providing system sales distribution support. MechAction, Inc. was founded in 2015 with headquarter and testing lab in Acton, MA.
