Anodized Aluminum Applications: Aviation & Aerospace; Close
Tolerance Anodizing, Custom
Colors, Resists Corrosion, Wear, Temperature Changes, Electricity,
Lightweight, Durable
Anodized products and components are used for thousands of applications
in aviation and aerospace industries, including:
- Quick-Disconnects for fueling systems
- Helicopter Blades / Rotors to milspec
- Navigational Equipment
- Communication Gear
- Cabin Trim
|
- Bombsights
- Seating Systems
- Cockpit Switches, Gauges and Panel Trim
- Exterior Panels for Aerospace Vehicles
- Space Station Components
|
This is just a small sample of products made, in whole or part, of anodized aluminum.
The uses of anodized aluminum products are endless, limited only by the
imaginations of designers, inventors and engineers.
Anodized Aluminum Applications: Aviation & Aerospace Take Off
Superior Metal Technologies offers a comprehensive range of aluminum anodizing services
to aviation and aerospace industries, including:
- Sulfuric Anodizing
- Chromic Anodizing
- Hardcoat Anodizing (Hardcoating)
|
- Clear Coatings
- Color Anodizing
- Custom Anodizing
- Close Tolerance Coating
|
Anodized aluminum is especially valuable in the production of
aircraft and space-going components, where reduced weight and durability are
constant considerations. Anodized aluminum components:
- Have about 1/3 the density of steel parts
- Will not peel or flake
- Are resistant to:
- Corrosion
- Moisture
- Salt spray
- Ice
|
- Wear
- Harsh chemicals
- Temperature changes
- Electricity.
|
Furthermore, advancing technology allows us to provide smaller
coating tolerances than were available as little as 8 years ago,
allowing for even more applications where durable, lightweight, hard
coated components would be beneficial. And anodized parts can be
dyed in a wide range of
custom colors, limiting their uses only by your designers
imaginations.
Anodized Aluminum Applications: Replace Costly Stainless Steel
Anodized aluminum can replace stainless steel in certain applications,
offering long-term cost savings due to it's long-lasting durability, weight reduction, and
protective properties
unique to anodized products.
