Chad Beamer currently runs the Quintus Technologies LLC Application Center in Columbus, OH. Before Quintus Technologies, Chad gained a BS degree (University of Cincinnati) and an MS degree (Ohio State University) in Materials Engineering, spent six years at GE Aviation as a Material Application engineer, and worked for another six years as a manager of Technical Sales at Bodycote.

Utilizing state-of-the-art HIP equipment, which allows for combined HIP and heat treatment, Chad helps some of the nation’s most advanced aerospace, medical, and industrial manufacturers define HIP and heat treatment approaches for the most challenging materials and applications. This has resulted in various white papers, conference presentations, and broad recognition of Chad as one of the leading material experts in the industry, continuously pushing the boundaries for Quintus’ clients and collaborators.

Heat Treat Today has also been honored to learn from Chad’s expertise, publishing his work, research, and opinions on several occasions including: “Hot Isostatic Pressing: A Seasoned Player with New Technologies in Heat Treatment – Expert Analysis,” “Hot Isostatic Pressing for Orthopaedic Implants,” “Heat Treating: The Best Medicine,” and “Status from the Industry: What’s Hip in HIP?”

Chad’s knowledge and abilities have continually proven vital for Quintus Technologies’ clients, and ongoing collaborations with companies and institutions like EOS, Launcher, Honeywell, SLM Solutions, University of Arizona, Ohio State University, and dozens more that cannot be announced (yet) are proof of Chad’s expertise and value to the industry.
