Services
Thermal Spray Coatings
Our thermal spray coatings provide critical protection against wear, erosion, and extreme temperatures. Using HVOF, Plasma, and Wire Arc methods, we apply tungsten-carbide and ceramic coatings that extend component lifespans up to 20x. These solutions serve aerospace braking systems, oil & gas equipment, and medical devices, maintaining integrity under demanding conditions. Our proprietary WESCOAT processes ensure precise adhesion and durability for mission-critical applications.
Precision Machining
We offer full-service CNC machining capabilities for complex components requiring tolerances as tight as .00005. Our equipment handles turning, milling, and swiss screw operations for diameters between .100 and 10 inches. This precision manufacturing supports high-volume production while maintaining strict quality controls for aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries needing exacting specifications and rapid turnaround times.
HVOF Coating
HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) coatings produce ultra-dense layers with bond strengths exceeding 10,000 PSI. This process uses kinetic energy to create smooth, homogeneous surfaces that minimize finishing requirements. Ideal for aerospace components and industrial machinery, our HVOF solutions deliver exceptional wear resistance while maintaining dimensional accuracy for critical mechanical systems operating under extreme stress.
Plasma Spray
Plasma spray technology enables precise application of high-melting-point ceramics and metals. By ionizing inert gases to melt coating materials, we achieve controlled microstructures for electrical insulation and thermal barrier applications. This method excels in creating complex coatings for electronics, medical devices, and power generation equipment requiring exact thermal and conductive properties.
Wire Arc Coating
Wire Arc spray provides cost-effective corrosion protection and dimensional restoration for worn components. Using two conductive wires melted by electric arc, we produce thick, durable coatings ideal for large surface areas. This high-deposition process reduces downtime by repairing mis-machined parts in-house, particularly benefiting marine and industrial clients needing rapid turnaround for critical equipment maintenance.
