The Monty, November 2002 Issue

I’ve heard that VAC AERO will soon be making a formal announcement about a couple of contracts they’ve been awarded from the University of Toronto with a total value of more than a million dollars. The first is for a vacuum plasma spray forming system, kind of a combination of a vacuum furnace and plasma spray gun (beside furnaces and heat treating, VAC AERO’s also heavily involved in thermal spray coatings). The second contract is for a vacuum furnace. All of this equipment is going to the Center for Advanced Coating Technologies in the University’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering.
