Unlocking the Power of Precision: Anodizing & Plating Services at Aerospace Metals

by

At Aerospace Metals, we understand that in the aerospace, defense, and high-tech manufacturing industries, surface treatments are more than just a finish—they’re a mission-critical part of the process. That’s why we offer a full suite of anodizing and plating services tailored to meet the highest industry standards, with fast turnaround times and the ability to handle large-scale jobs.

Anodizing Services We Offer

Anodizing not only enhances the appearance of aluminum components, but also improves corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and surface hardness. Aerospace Metals offers several types of anodizing processes to meet the specific needs of every application:

Type I: Chromic Acid Anodizing

  • Provides a thin, corrosion-resistant coating

  • Ideal for tight tolerance applications

  • Commonly used in aerospace due to excellent fatigue resistance

Type II: Sulfuric Acid Anodizing

  • The most common anodizing type

  • Allows for dyeing and coloring

  • Increases wear and corrosion resistance

Type III: Hardcoat Anodizing

  • A much thicker, harder anodized layer

  • Perfect for components exposed to extreme wear or harsh environments

  • Offers excellent dielectric properties

Bright Dip Anodizing

  • Achieves a high-gloss, mirror-like finish on aluminum parts

  • Frequently used for decorative purposes without compromising corrosion resistance
