Thermal-Vac offers nickel-plating to AMS 2403. Thermal-Vac provides superior service by reducing lead-time through the elimination of transit time and one of the process planning cycles. Since merging Model Plating capabilities into Thermal-Vac's operation, equipment upgrades and modernization have been made and NADCAP accreditation has been awarded.

Thermal-Vac's nickel-plating expertise and capabilities have earned the confidence of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and NASA. Thermal-Vac is privileged to provide plating for the Space Shuttle's Main Engine nozzle cooling tubes, which also act as the core of the nozzle's structure. These tubes become an integral part of the nozzle structure and cool the nozzle with liquid hydrogen, protecting it from the 6000°F combustion temperature.
