Research & Development

Mustang Vacuum Systems has over 50 years of combined vacuum & metallurgical experience and has consistently lead the vacuum coating industry with its innovative technology. Our experienced team has a forward thinking attitude that enables us to deliver turnkey solutions to help our customers gain success in their industries. We extend our R&D resources and expertise to aid our customers. Mustang provides research & development assistance in many areas, including:

Colorization
Mustang can help develop the precise process to obtain your desired color when coating.

Hard Coatings
Mustang can help in the determination and development of
hard coatings to meet your needs.

Surface Profilometer
We can provide the images you need via Surface Profilometer, a high-resolution instrument that captures 3-dimensional information to map the topography of a surface.

High Power Microscopes:
SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) & AFM (Atomic Force Microscope)
Our team can get the images you're looking for with an SEM, a powerful electron microscope featuring a process that allows the user to capture the texture of a surface, or an AFM, atomic force microscope.

Hardness Testing
We can provide the type of hardness test required for your purposes: Rockwell, Brinell, or Vickers.

Pilot Coatings & Sample Coatings

Mustang will help you get the work, prove the coating or run a pilot line of coatings. Inquire about our many in-house targets, which include: MgF, Ti, TiAl, Cr, NiCr, Al, Cu, AlCu, TiAlCu, Brass, Bronze, SiO₂ and many more…

DLC Diamond Coating Utilize our expertise in Tool Coatings: We can provide excecllent tool coatings, including TiN and DLC, to increase the strength, longevity and productivity of tools and parts. Our DLC Coatings, in particular, shine on and on... tribological coatings at their best -- tetrahedral amorphous carbon, or ta-C a.k.a. 3-dimensionally (sp3 ) bonded diamond performed in-house for your evaluation and or pilot coatings. This coating is pure magic- adding lubricity, strengh, and longevity to parts.

And, our Decorative Coatings really stand out. Our equipment and knowledge base is unsurpassed in the coating / metal plating industry. We have the technology and expert staff to help you with the ultimate finish and color.
