Materials & Advanced Processing Engineering
Materials Engineering Expertise. Built for Industry.
Metcer Innovations help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and technology programs to bridge the gap between materials R&D and robust production processes — from coating application and operations ramp-up to advanced powder processing set-up and execution within the most demanding industrial sectors.
What We Do
What We Do
Three focused practice areas — each built to close the gap between materials R&D and robust production processes.
Advanced Coatings & Thermal Spray Engineering
Lab to Pilot to Production
Metcer provides process engineering and parameter development for thermal spray and advanced coatings.
- Coating and process design for enhancing wear, corrosion, thermal barrier, and dielectric properties
- Feedstock selection, development, production and qualification — advanced carbides and ceramics
- Troubleshooting and failure analysis of existing coating systems
Powder & Feedstock Development
Concept through Production
Metcer supports powder and feedstock development for coatings, hardfacing, and emerging applications.
- Concept and production feasibility for new alloy and carbide systems
- Supplier qualification and quality control
- Lab-to-pilot to production guidance on spray drying, blending, atomization, and post-processing heat treatment routes
