Industries We Serve

Built for the Most Demanding Industrial Sectors

Our coating application, operations ramp-up, and advanced powder processing expertise is deployed across various industries where material performance is non-negotiable.

Aerospace

Flight-critical materials. Zero margin for error.

Aerospace components operate at the intersection of extreme temperature, mechanical stress, and regulatory scrutiny. We support OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and MRO operations with coating development, powder qualification, and failure analysis for turbine hot section components, structural alloys, and precision tooling. From thermal barrier coating system design to production ramp-up on new coating lines, our work is grounded in the materials science that keeps aircraft flying.

Key Applications

Turbine blades & vanesCombustor linersShroud segmentsCompressor componentsStructural airframe alloys

Our Expertise in This Sector

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) system development and qualification
Bond coat and MCrAlY powder engineering
APS and HVOF process set-up and production ramp-up
Turbine blade and vane coating failure analysis
Coating condition assessment and remaining life estimation
OEM and NADCAP process specification compliance support

Industrial Gas Turbines

Power generation demands coatings that last.

Industrial gas turbines run longer, harder, and under more variable fuel conditions than their aerospace counterparts. We work with power generation OEMs and other thermal spray shops to develop and qualify coating systems for hot section components, support coating operations ramp-up at repair facilities, and assess the condition of in-service hardware to extend maintenance intervals and reduce unplanned outages.

Key Applications

First-stage blades & vanesTransition piecesCombustion hardwareShrouds & sealsRepair and refurbishment

Our Expertise in This Sector

TBC and EBC system development for IGT hot section components
Oxidation and hot corrosion-resistant coating qualification
Coating operations set-up and ramp-up at repair and overhaul facilities
In-service condition assessment and remaining life analysis
Powder development for high-temperature metallic and ceramic systems
Failure investigation of field-returned components

Mining

Wear resistance engineered for extreme abrasion.

Mining equipment faces relentless abrasion, impact, and corrosion in environments that destroy conventional materials. We develop and qualify wear-resistant coating systems and cermet powder feedstocks for ground-engaging tools, slurry handling equipment, and processing machinery — and support coating operations set-up and ramp-up for in-house or contract coating facilities serving the mining sector.

Key Applications

Ground-engaging toolsSlurry pumps & impellersCyclone linersCrusher componentsConveyor and processing equipment

Our Expertise in This Sector

WC-Co and Cr3C2-NiCr cermet coating system development
HVOF and HVAF process set-up and production ramp-up
Cermet and metallic powder development and qualification
Wear mechanism analysis and coating selection
Field failure investigation of worn components
Coating performance testing (ASTM G65, G76, slurry erosion)

Oil & Gas

Corrosion and erosion protection for upstream and downstream assets.

Upstream and downstream oil and gas assets face aggressive corrosion, erosion, and high-pressure environments that demand engineered surface solutions. We support coating system development and qualification for valves, pumps, compressor components, and downhole tools — and provide failure analysis and condition assessment for in-service hardware experiencing premature degradation.

Key Applications

Valves & valve seatsPump componentsCompressor partsDownhole toolsPipe and flow control hardware

Our Expertise in This Sector

Corrosion and erosion-resistant coating system development
HVOF cermet and metallic coating qualification for O&G service
Coating operations set-up and ramp-up for valve and pump manufacturers

Semiconductor

High-purity ceramics for process-critical chamber components.

Semiconductor process equipment demands coating materials with exceptional purity, controlled microstructure, and consistent performance across thousands of process cycles. We develop and qualify high-purity ceramic powder feedstocks and coating systems for chamber components, and support advanced powder processing technology set-up and ramp-up for suppliers serving the semiconductor market.

Key Applications

Etch chamber componentsCVD chamber linersElectrostatic chucksShowerheads & gas distributionFocus rings & shields

Our Expertise in This Sector

High-purity alumina, yttria, and YSZ powder development
APS coating qualification for chamber component applications
Advanced powder processing technology set-up and ramp-up
