Technical due diligence
Review of RFQs, supplier proposals, equipment specifications and FAT/SAT criteria before procurement or acceptance. The focus is on what is clear, what is missing and what must be checked before the next decision.
Where I reduce engineering risk
Independent technical support for projects where a wrong specification, weak acceptance test or unsuitable coating route can become expensive later.
Process & equipment consulting
Support for PVD, CVD, PECVD, plasma nitriding, LPC, vacuum furnaces and coating process chains where performance depends on both the process route and equipment capability.
Space & high-vacuum systems
Technical review of thermal-vacuum systems, xenon gas-load environments, cathodes, contamination questions and test-infrastructure interfaces.
When I am useful
I am useful when the project needs a technically literate bridge between supplier, buyer and R&D team.
- before buying PVD/CVD/PECVD, coating, nitriding, LPC or vacuum equipment;
- when supplier claims need independent verification;
- when an R&D process has to become an industrial route;
- when FAT/SAT criteria are unclear or too generic;
- when coating choice affects wear, friction, lifetime, contamination or thermal stability;
- when equipment capability, process parameters and diagnostics must be aligned before acceptance.
Consulting focus
RFQ and supplier review
Technical review of offers, gaps, risks and acceptance questions.
Vacuum and coating equipment
Specification review for furnaces, PVD/CVD/PECVD systems and coating centers.
Process industrialization
Support for transferring surface-treatment and coating routes toward pilot or production use.
Technical background
Vacuum-plasma technologies, surface engineering, tribology, coatings, thermochemical treatment, high-vacuum systems and applied R&D support.
