Backed by nearly 15 years of metallurgical engineering and hands-on shop
leadership, support is provided for coating and thermal spray operations in
active production environments. Production, quality, and equipment challenges
are addressed directly on the floor, working alongside operators and shop
personnel to keep processes stable and repeatable.
Training
Training is focused on ensuring improvements hold in production after
support is complete.
Operator coaching during active production to correct process issues and maintain parameter discipline
Training on parameter control to prevent variation and maintain stable spraying conditions
Technical mentoring to improve understanding of thermal spray processes and behavior
Training on procedures, work instructions, and quality records for consistent performance across shifts
Coaching supervisors and leads on maintaining process control and managing workflow
Training on testing systems including abrasion testing and thermal conductivity methods
Thermal Spray
Support covers a range of thermal spray platforms and surface preparation
processes where consistency and coating performance are critical.
Development and qualification of coating parameters for HVOF operations
Support of APS, flame spray, and twin wire arc systems in production
OD and ID twin wire arc applications for dimensional restoration and wear protection
Procedures for blasting and shot peening to ensure coating adhesion and fatigue resistance
Troubleshooting coating quality problems and equipment failures
Quality
Quality work focuses on verifying coating performance and maintaining
compliance with required standards.
Metallographic evaluation and coating inspection microscopy
ASTM G65 abrasion testing and materials characterization
Root cause analysis and CAPA for recurring production issues
Support of ISO 9001 systems, audits, and certification reviews
Development of procedures, work instructions, and technical documentation
Operations
Support includes maintaining production capability and coordinating the
systems required to keep operations running.
Production coordination, scheduling, and workflow support
Setup, commissioning, and maintenance coordination for thermal spray systems
Sourcing of parts, components, and alloy powders required for production
Support of shop safety practices, gas handling, and hazardous material requirements
