At The Forefront of Advanced Material Science & Technology
Synthesis, Fabrication and Sale of High Performance Specialty Components
Surmet Corporation
Founded in 1982 On A
Simple Business Premise:
“Currently Used Materials Are Not Adequate To Meet The Challenges of Tomorrow’s
Machines and Systems”
Corporate Mission
To Provide Working Solutions that Translate into Significant Performance Advantage at a Reasonable Cost
We are an Advanced Materials Solutions company. We invent solutions to your
material related problems and we take Laboratory Inventions to the Production
Floor
We Clearly Understand and Meet The Needs of Customers.
We have total Commitment to Customers’ success We Deliver unique and measurable performance advantage
to customers
We Provide Solutions based on Advanced materials and Cost effective manufacturing process innovations
At Surmet, we are at the Forefront of Advanced Material Science &Technology. We Synthesize, Fabricate and Sell High Performance Specialty Components
Business Philosophy
Our Legacy Business
We developed innovative process and became the leading Manufacturer of Advanced Electrostatic Clamps to hold Silicon Wafers for Semi conductor Industry. These clamps are still the global standard without competition
We also invented and became the leading supplier of Coated (UHP Silicon) machine Components for Micro-chip Processing Chambers. Contamination control, a constant ongoing concern, is the objective here.
We also invented and developed a process to deposited thick (over one hundred microns thick) Amorphous Silicon surfacing for Space Mirror Applications. This silicon is amenable to single point diamond turning.
Surmet in 2002/2003
Acquired ALON® Optical Ceramics Technology from Raytheon 2002
Acquired Technical Ceramics Facilities
from MA-COM 2003 (Buffalo, NY) Formerly Advanced Refractory Technologies (ART)
Buffalo
Acquired Precise Surface Finishing Established Surmet Precision Optics,
December 2003 (Murrieta, CA)
Corporate Divestiture
In order to focus on Optical Ceramics development, we executed a successful Corporate Divestiture in 2007
We sold our highly profitable and thriving Semiconductor Division with thirty ex-employees to Publicly traded Entegris Inc.
The divested Business Unit is flourishing with the new
owners and Ours is the most Profitable Division in 2010 & 2011 for the acquirer.
ALON® Armor which is more Effective than Glass Laminates at Half the weight. ALON® is the Top Choice for Light Weight Transparent Armor Applications. It is ready for large scale insertion in defense and civilian systems.
We are also in ALON & Spinel IR precision Optics business (Domes & Reconnaissance Windows)
We are also in Al N Thermal Management Products Business

Surmet’s Specialty Optical Ceramics
Surmet’s Specialty Optical Ceramics have Multi Industry Applications Potential, such as Military, Bio-medical, Chemical, Energy & Lighting, Semi-conductor among others.
For lightweight poly crystalline Transparent ceramic Armor applications ALON® is the leading candidate.
There are many advantages : Low Cost, High Quality ALON® Powder in tonnage
quantities are synthesized at Surmet. Ultra high purity ALON powder is manufactured in-
house using a robust and cost effective manufacturing process

Powder Forming Heat Treatment Optical Fabrication
ALON and Spinel Are Made By Conventional Powder Processing
Techniques
ALON is Being Produced By The Metric Ton
11
ALON Spinel
• Tri-Mode Seeker dome requires transmission at 1.06um, 3-5um, RF• Baseline dome is monolithic ALON or Spinel
- Surmet can produce both materials• Some fraction of domes require embedded metallic grids
- Surmet is only company with mature technology to produce gridded domes
JAGM
ALON and Spinel Tri-Mode Seeker Domes for Joint Air to Ground Missile
Tri-Mode Seeker
Surmet’s ALON and Spinel domes have met stringent ppm level homogeneity requirement for JAGM
