For almost 30 years, Exothermics has been leading the way in innovative technologies for the conceptualization, development, testing, validation, and production of a large variety of high performance non-oxide ceramics, refractory metals, and thin film coatings, all in pursuit of overcoming some of the world’s most challenging metallurgical problems and limitations, for some of the most sensitive clients, to address performance issues of products in the most demanding of environments, and under the most extreme of conditions. Let us help you overcome yours.
At Exothermics, Our Scientists and Specialists are Extreme Problem Solvers. Let us Help You Overcome Yours – Call us Today!
Sputtering and other types of physical vapor deposition are a mainstay of our business. We consistently produce our own sputtering targets and deposit films on numerous substrate materials.
“The Exothermics’ facility is pristine. It is clear the pride you have for 5S and process control. Coming from the Aerospace industry myself, at both Northrop Grumman and Pratt & Whitney, I am confident the Exothermics’ facility exceeds standards I’ve witnessed at so many different manufacturers in this industry.”
We have a range of metal and graphite hot zone furnaces for thermal processing of refractory compounds, nonoxide ceramics, reactive metals, refractory metals and specialized alloys.
“It is a joy to collaborate with industry leaders such as Exothermics, who continuously deliver on both the technical and commercial fronts as you have been doing so well for us.”
Hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of refractory compounds, refractory metals and other specialty ceramics and alloys is a core specialty at Exothermics.
“I have been at many production and lab facilities of the leading ceramic and technology companies over the past several years, to include many aerospace and DOD prime contractors and sub-tiers . None of them compare to the range of equipment, layout and professional appearance of your facility.”
As a result of our past and ongoing involvement with an array of defense, industrial and high temperature materials development programs and manufacturing efforts, Exothermics has gained valuable expertise in producing many types of specialty metals, refractory compounds and nonoxide ceramics.
Exothermic supports a wide range of advanced materials development activities encompassing the development of ultrahigh temperature ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), refractory compounds and functional electromagnetic materials.
Exothermics has specialized engineering skills in the design and analysis of sputtering and vacuum furnaces as well as complex mechanisms for vacuum chambers, and offers further engineering support for a plethora of hot pressing, carbon fiber manufacturing, HIP processing, vacuum brazing, heat transfer, FEA, Joule heating, and Ply layup manufacturing disciplines.
At Exothermics we offer precision machining and milling of a variety of metals, various types of plastics, graphite, a variety of ceramics, as well as composites. We can mill small to large as well as simple to complex parts and offer short run production and prototyping.
The ultrahigh temperature materials and sputtering target fabrication efforts at Exothermics have required that we develop specialized skills around the sheet metal forming, electron beam welding, TIG welding of various Group IV and V reactive and refractory metals.
Our customers enjoy having access to one of the world’s largest, most diverse, and technologically advanced material characterization, prototyping, design, engineering, development, testing, validation, production, and manufacturing facilities in the world dedicated to the art and science of cost-effective non-oxide ceramics, refractory metals and specialty thin film products and technologies, all under one roof.
Exothermics was founded in late 1996, and since that time we have primarily focused on development and commercialization of cost-effective, non-oxide ceramics, refractory metals and specialty thin film technologies for end use in aerospace/defense, semicon and other niche markets.
