For ultra-high temperature designs, silicide coatings may be the best way to ensure success, and Thermal-Vac is honored to be an approved source for the aerospace industry for Type 512A and 512E silicide coatings.

Our specialized application techniques, coupled with custom tooling, provide for the most reputable and uniform coating thickness across difficult parts such as the throat sections of rocket nozzles.

Our silicide coatings enable niobium-alloy rocket engine thrusters to survive most temperatures so severe that even specialized alloys such as C-103 rapidly break down due to hyper-accelerated oxidation. It is a great source of pride to know that Thermal-Vac coatings protect the vitals of the weaponry that protect all of us.
