Other Emerging Technologies

Plasma Processes has participated in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program in support of advanced technologies to address gaps or foster new capabilities for the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), Department of Energy (DOE), NASA, National Science Foundation (NSF), and more. We partner with research laboratories/institutes, academia, and industry to advance next generation technologies such as directed energy, nuclear, magnets, fussion, fission, solar, deep space exploration, and more.

Medical

Medical devices and biomaterials pose complex material challenges. Plasma Processes delivers advanced functional coatings that provide corrosion resistance, minimal leaching, high-temperature durability, and tailored surface modifications to improve biocompatibility across diverse environments.

Biocompatibility

Plasma Processes offers materials solutions for biocompatibility including commercially pure titanium (CP Ti), titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V), hydroxyapatite (HA), iridium, metallic oxides and tantalum.

Platinum Group and Refractory Metals

Plasma Processes offers a broad range of platinum and refractory metal components and coatings with application in medical instrumentation.  Metals such as iridium and tantalum exhibit bio-compatible properties.

Medical Instrumentation

Plasma Processes offers product solutions for demanding medical devices such as x-ray targets, gamma and x-ray shielding, and collimators or CT and PET scanners.

Testing and Test Facilities

Plasma Processes provides a full range of in-house material testing services, including microhardness testing, arc-jet evaluation, bond-strength testing, and more. We also collaborate with trusted partners to offer NDE/NDT, ultrasonic inspection, and other specialized testing as required. Our team is experienced with ASTM methods as well as customer-specific standards.

Beyond material evaluation, we are recognized for developing protective coatings for long-distance railway test tracks, as well as wear-resistant and maintenance coatings for sensors used in wind tunnels and other extreme environments. We offer a wide selection of protective coating solutions for test facilities and can perform a diverse array of tests either in-house or through our partner network to meet both customer and government needs.

Sensors, Payloads, and other Electronics

Plasma has coated and made parts for sensors, payloads, and electronics (or boxes to shield them) for many years. We keep these items protected from long term use in extreme environments, including radiation, thermal, oxidation, corrosion, wind, rust, erosion, logistics, rain/water, lightning, sand, and more. If you have questions on how to protect your products, we are positive we can find a solution for your needs.
