We are thrilled to share some exciting updates this month at Aerospace Metals. We have expanded our capabilities, introduced new processes, and strengthened our partnership with Sonaca Group, a renowned leader in metal finishing. With these developments, we can now offer an enhanced range of services to our valued clients.
One of our notable additions is the implementation of chemical milling, also known as industrial etching. This subtractive manufacturing process utilizes temperature-regulated etching chemicals to precisely remove material and create intricate features such as channels and pockets. Chemical milling enables us to produce complex and highly accurate precision components for various metal types.
Aerospace Metals will offer increased capacity for chemical milling, along with the following services:
–Bright dip anodizing
– Hardcoat anodizing
–Passivation
–Chem film
–Plating processes: cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc, zinc nickel, chrome, black chrome, high and mis foss electroless nickel, silver, gold, tin, bright dip on brass, and paint
– 3D printing for tooling and associated hardware fabrication
– Additional chemical processing lines (8-ft and 12-ft)
– Nondestructive testing services (penetrant inspection, magnetic particle, and hardness testing)
– Conductivity testing services
– A full-service organic coating department featuring multiple paint booths and highly skilled painters
Our organic coating department specializes in applying various coatings, including primers, topcoats, Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC), Teflon coating, fuel tank coating, Sol-Gel for Cres and Titanium Alloys, and dry film lubricants. Our masking and coating departments work closely together to provide exceptional service, utilizing Catia-based masking instructions and innovative conveyance systems to achieve precise masking schemes.
In terms of metal finishing processes, we now offer a wide range of options, including alkaline cleaning, pre-penetrant etching for aluminum and titanium, different types of anodizing, and conversion coating.
