Aero Space
Aircraft parts and components are highly vulnerable to atmospheric corrosion, one of the primary concerns among worldwide aerospace manufacturers. The damage inflicted by corrosion goes far beyond cosmetics, as it can penetrate deep inside titanium, steel, aluminum and magnesium components to weaken their structural integrity. Applying metal coatings like zinc-nickel is a highly effective solution for protecting many component types throughout the aerospace industry. Zinc-nickel plating acts as a sacrificial coating, which can absorb much of the corrosion before it reaches the actual substrate.
Allied Industries offers an extensive lineup of metal plating and surface finishing solutions for a comprehensive industry range, including aerospace. In addition to providing superior corrosion resistance, our metal plating increases a component’s durability, surface hardness and shine. We are an industry leader in electroless plating within the aerospace industry, having been one of the pioneers that established zinc-nickel (Zi-Ni) plating as a legitimate alternative to cadmium plating.
Allied Industries Plating Company specializes in surface finishing and metal plating for parts across various applications in the aerospace industry. Besides offering industry-best corrosion resistance, our plating services provide finishes that increase hardness and durability while enhancing a part’s overall appearance. We have delivered high-performance plating solutions to automakers for decades, including the operation of multiple rack and barrel systems for the Big 3 Automotive and Tier 1 suppliers.
Types of Aerospace Electroplating We Offer
Aerospace components benefit from various protective metal plating methods, as each technique offers different advantages. The ideal plating for a specific part depends on the type of metal it’s protecting, the degree of protection needed, the desired hardness and the product’s appearance. Several of the primary metal finishing treatments we offer for the aerospace industry include
