Typical applications in the military include parts on armored vehicles, aircraft, electronics and hardware.
Zinc-nickel plating
Zinc-nickel plating has emerged as one of the most reliable finishing techniques for protecting against corrosion in the harshest environments. Among the most common military and defense applications are engine components in armored vehicles. Zinc-nickel plating has also replaced cadmium across the industry as the most trusted solution for preventing corrosion and wear on an aircraft's landing gear.
Bronze Plating
Bronze plating is a specialized finishing technique that few other plating companies have the expertise to perform successfully. Our proprietary Miccrolloy bronze electroplating process is valuable for the defense, aerospace and marine industries because of its exceptional wear and strength characteristics. Typical coating applications include landing gear systems, rotors, pistons and faceplates for aircraft cylinder blocks
