Both EL-Form® Electrodeposition and Vacuum Plasma Spray processes are used for net-shape forming of structures. Net-shape manufacturing reduces the cost of fabrication due to high material utilization and reduced machining.

Plasma Processes offers engineered materials solutions meeting demanding performance criteria, stringent quality requirements, and challenging schedules for aerospace and defense programs.

Plasma Processes offers a wide range of manufacturing and coating processes, each with unique characteristics for specific applications.  Our core competencies include a complete family of thermal spray processes; EL-Form® molten salt electrodeposition; & Powder Alloying and Spheroidization services.

Coatings are employed to address many wear mechanisms including abrasion, erosion, cavitaiton, galling and fretting. Coating hardnesses can be engineered, ranging from the low 20s through the low 70s. 

Powder Alloying & Spheroidization (PAS) transforms flaky and angular powder particles into spheres, resulting in free-flowing powder feedstock with enhanced physical characteristics. Virtually any powder or powder alloy, including crystalline, spray-dried, blended, agglomerated and composite powders, can be processed. 

Plasma Processes offers engineered materials solutions meeting demanding performance criteria, stringent quality requirements, and challenging schedules to our aerospace and defense customers.
