Technology - Development Prototype Capabilities
In an effort to provide a means for clients to gain a comprehensive understanding of how to handle and process our polymers and to gain quick access to markets with initial prototypes, we offer the following services:
- A wide range of furnace sizes and capabilities (inert atmospheres) to process parts.
- Standard box furnaces
- High temperature (2200°C) furnaces
- Hot press furnace
- Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of thin film silicon carbide.
- Custom composite fabrication (Silicon Carbide CMC's).
- Simple composite shapes formed by warm pressing and resin transfer molding (RTM)
- Traditional machining capabilities including water-jet cutting.
- Testing capabilities:
- Mechanical testing at ambient and elevated temperatures.
- Physical / Chemical analysis; NMR, GPC, SEM, TGA mass-spec. XRD, Auger (AES) and others as needs dictate.
