APS Materials, Inc. is currently experiencing rapid growth as a client based provider of innovative thermal spray solutions for a wide range of needs in surface modification.
As the name suggests, a plasma spray coating is a special covering that is applied to substrates such as medical devices, semiconductors, jet engine components and various metals in order to improve their surface properties or enhance their efficiency. Plasma spray coatings can heighten the quality of appearance, extend a device's durability and act as scratch and corrosion resistance.
Medical devices, typically made of stainless steel or other durable and light weight elements, are required to exert minimum friction, excellent adhesion and most importantly controllable conductivity and usability tolerance. These features are often
optimized by using titanium coatings. Medical devices can range from a single non-ground wire to devices of various shapes and sizes that demand extensive masking.
Along with serving as corrosion resistance for common medical devices, titanium coatings are now applied to orthopedic implants in order to afford the implant greater permanence. The porous, bio-active coating enables the biomedical engineer
to design an implant that is better suited to interact with human bone tissue.
APS Materials, Inc. is the leading thermal spray coating and plasma spray coating manufacturer and supplier in the industry. APS has over thirty years of experience providing thermal and plasma spray coating solutions to not only the biomedical industry but also to the aerospace industry and semiconductor/LCD industry. APS is capable of providing solutions to any industry in which corrosion and abrasion resistance is required.
