The advantages of surface treatments in aeronautics

Especially in the aeronautical sector, surface treatments are processes that increase the protection of a part or material against corrosion and wear. This is a particularly important operation since it enables parts to comply with the standards and regulations in use today.

With many years of experience behind us, we can provide a wide range of surface treatments for the aerospace industry, such as cadmium plating, oxidation, anodising and passivation.

Different surface treatment processes suitable for the aerospace sector

There are several types of surface treatments for aeronautics.
⦁ Tribo-finishing: improves the surface finish of the material ;
⦁ Cadmium plating: undercoating via electrolysis ;
⦁ Nickel plating: depositing nickel ;
⦁ Galvanizing: depositing galvanized steel;
⦁ Silver plating: depositing of silver;
⦁ Chrome plating: depositing of chromium;
⦁ Anodising: a form of oxidation carried out only on aluminium parts;
⦁ Passivation: altering of the oxidation processes;
⦁ Zinc plating: zinc depositing by electrolysis;
⦁ Chemical blackening or burnishing: prevents corrosion.

Malouvis is at your disposal to carry out all the necessary surface treatments for both standard or customised parts.
