Structural
Fabrications and Welding
HadronAFCO,
our joint venture, has teamed us up with one of the
nation's premier fabricators that has been providing
unique fabrication solutions since 1976. Their
expertise in fabrications, combined with Hadron's
quality assurance, engineering, and project
management provides an unbeatable combination for
critical fabrications.

Thin Film Process Development. Thin films are typically deposited through vacuum-based processes to thicknesses less than 5 microns. Wear and corrosion resistant films are typical applications. Hadron has in-house capabilities including RF and DC sputtering, as well as microwave assisted CVD.
Thick Film Process Development Thick films, generally 100 microns or thicker, can serve as thermal barriers, as well as corrosion resistant coatings on a variety of different base materials. Hadron's in-house plasma spray and thermal spray processes are being applied to solve a variety of materials challenges.
Paint and Coatings Development Hadron continues development work for in-house and customer applications where a thermodynamically stable coating is required for contact with molten metals or other reactive materials.
