Rochefort ties the financing to what it describes as a bottleneck in the defense industrial base: limited domestic hot isostatic pressing capacity. The firm says thousands of American companies rely on foreign providers to densify their parts.1
Hot isostatic pressing uses heat and pressure to close internal voids and reduce defects in metal parts. INTALUS' Targeted Phase Infusion systems infuse selected areas of components with its patented ceramic-metal technology, which Rochefort says is intended to improve resistance to heat, wear and corrosion.1
The announcement discloses neither the financing amount nor whether it is equity or debt, and names no sites for the planned facilities and no government customer or contract.1
The planned facilities would add domestic processing capacity for metal components. Rochefort identifies actuators, fasteners, and turbine and reactor components as potential uses, with applications across submarines and other maritime platforms, space, energy, munitions, nuclear systems and aerospace turbines.1
