THIN DENSE CHROME SOLUTIONS FOR AEROSPACE COMPONENTS
Using the Electrolizing® coating for aerospace components has many advantages. Below we will discuss the main reasons you would choose Electrolizing® in order to reduce maintenance costs and enhance performance.
USING ELECTROLIZING® IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
Electrolizing® is a hard chrome coating for aerospace components that require improved wear, corrosion resistance, broad temperature range, and uniform deposits. With deposits that can range from 0.00005” to 0.001”, and tolerances of +/-0.000025”, the thin, precise, hard coating ensures component tolerances and functionality remain true to design.
Considered a cold process (<180°F), Electrolizing® prevents distortion, annealing, and dimensional changes from occurring in the base metal.
KEY BENEFITS
- Fully certified to AMS 2438
- Thin even deposit that does not require secondary machining
- Deposits as low as 0.00005” will not affect part tolerances
- Increased wear resistance
- High hardness
- Cold application process means no part distortion
- Enhanced corrosion resistance
- Extensive onsite testing and quality control
- Absolute bond to base metal
- Performs in a vacuum environment
The Electrolizing® surface coatings were designed for ferrous and non-ferrous base metals. Al-Coat® was developed to support Design Engineers who needed a surface coating for aluminum substrates that required the same performance enhancements that Electrolizing offered.
