R&D Coating

Our research staff can develop custom solutions to meet your specific requirement. Our ability to deposit PVD coatings using cathodic arc, electron beam, plasma enhanced magnetron sputtering and plasma enhanced CVD allows us to develop custom coatings or coating compositions to meet specific performance requirements. Coatings have been developed to combat friction, wear, fretting, erosion and corrosion. With the wide range of deposition processes available or engineering staff can deposit the coatings at temperatures that will not affect your substrate.


Our tribologists can work with your engineering staff to determine the failure mechanism and recommend a solution. We have an extensive tribological laboratory with more than 24 test benches that can be used to determine how the component reacts with different surface treatments. Our staff will work with you evaluating your component in a real world environment providing valuable data about the component's performance.
