Partial Listing of areas that we assist and consult:

  • CVD Tool Coating
  • Tungsten Carbide Cobalt grade engineering and enhancement.
  • Fluoride-Ion – HF Gas Cleaning.
  • Platinum Plating.
  • Fume Scrubbing
  • Acid waste treatment from CVD Processing.
  • High Temperature Oxidation Resistant coatings for composite material protection.
  • CVD, Pack and “gas phase” aluminizing and siliciding.
  • Quality Assurance System Setup.
  • Cathodic Arc Physical Vapor Deposition.
  • Coating Stripping.

If you need assistance in aerospace coatings and repair or tungsten carbide tooling technology, then a call to discuss your needs with our skilled staff may be extremely beneficial in assessing your needs and determining the manner a solution can be reached.

We provide training classes in most of the above areas particularly focused on:

  • WC-Co tooling Substrates
  • Coatings for Cutting Tools
  • Fluoride – Ion Cleaning
  • Platinum Plating
  • Aerospace Diffusion Coatings

In addition if you need experimental plating work done on new salts or new procedures that you would like explored, we have in-house plating systems that can be used for experimentation and evaluation.
