What’s next with surface technologies?
New Treatment, No Problem
Your surface requirements come first. We pay attention to established markets as well as emerging trends, so when our customers bring us their design challenges, we can design a surface treatment that best fits their needs.
How We Do It
Our team of materials scientists, chemists, and engineers cover all aspects of research and product development. An advantage that TES has is that our TURBOCAM International machinists combine their knowledge with our surface engineering efforts, giving us the ability to contribute to your product development from material selection, to machining, all the way to surface finishing.
The team uses an array of in-house testing equipment to characterize performance.
Our lab capabilities include:
- Hardness and microhardness surface indenters
- Microstructural analysis with etchants
- Electrochemical corrosion testing
- High Temperature Tribometer for wear and friction testing
- CMM
- Tensile Testing
Team
Bradley Crannell
Bradley Crannell has been a Research Chemist and Material Innovation Scientist at TURBOCAM Enhanced Surfaces for over 17 years, leading our R&D department in working with salt bath ferritic nitrocarburizing and other surface enhancing technologies. Prior to this he spent 12 years conducting heavy metal remediation research at the University of New Hampshire. He has a Master’s degree from University of Maine in Resource Utilization focusing on phosphorus-metal chemical reactions and is a certified as a ferrous metallurgist with ASM.
Kristen Berube
Kristen is a Process Engineer for the Plasma Department and holds a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. She develops and optimizes plasma spray processes, supports the department’s NADCAP accreditation, and helps qualify new coating systems and spray parameters. She is also trained in the microstructural evaluation of plasma-sprayed coatings to verify quality and ensure compliance with customer specifications.
Andrew Lord
Andrew Lord has been with TURBOCAM Enhanced Surfaces for over 10 years, having come from production roles within the Thermal Spray department. Prior to this he spent 6 years conducting chemical processing for other aerospace companies. He has a Bachelor’s of Science in Geology from University of New Hampshire with a focus on petrology with applications in material science.
Jon Cahill
Jon’s degree in Physics has been coupled with 8 years of working and running TES’s two production labs while being a key part of the R&D Team for new customer process development. His experience and continued research into metallurgical microstructures, wear simulation, and advanced corrosion testing has allowed him to support both Turbocam and our customers engineering projects. He provides key insights and hard data for guiding development and understanding what is happening in the field and on the production line.
