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.

“I have worked with Exothermics and have known Steve for over 15 years. He was trained as a metallurgist, but has considerably broadened his knowledge to encompass additional spheres of materials including ceramics, ceramic composites, carbon-carbon composites, and associated coatings. He is one of the smartest materials scientists I have had the pleasure of knowing – he is always learning, digs into the literature of the past, and is creative in developing new materials and fabrication approaches.”
