Where it all started......
          THE PROCESS








               THE COATING
  • Velocity - Subsonic
  • Bond strength - 4,000 psi
  • Hardness - ~ 45-50 Rockwell C
  • Density - 89% of substrate
  • Porosity - 4%
Where we are today.......
          THE PROCESS








              THE COATING
  • Velocity - Supersonic
  • Bond strength - 15,000 psi
  • Hardness - ~ 70 Rockwell C
  • Density - > 99% of Substrate
  • Porosity - < 1%
