Industry solution
Precision Surfaces for Aerospace
Weight-optimised components and highly stressed materials in aerospace demand particularly precise process control. As your development partner, we bring our expertise in aluminium, Electroless Nickel and functional surfaces to applications with high requirements for durability and quality.
Overview
Suitable Processes for Aerospace
Electroless Nickel delivers a uniform, precisely defined layer independent of component geometry – important for functional surfaces with tight tolerances.
For weight-optimised aluminium components, Anodizing / Hard-Anodizing provides additional corrosion and wear protection, while Heat Treatment of Aluminium specifically optimises the mechanical properties of highly stressed structural parts.
Typical challenges
What Aerospace Suppliers Come to Us For
Functional coating with tight tolerances and complex geometry
Components with bores, undercuts or other complex shapes need a layer that deposits uniformly regardless of geometry. Electroless Nickel delivers a precisely defined, reproducible layer thickness.
Solution: Electroless Nickel
Corrosion and wear protection for lightweight aluminium components
Weight-optimised aluminium components need additional surface protection without a noticeable increase in component weight. Anodizing / Hard-Anodizing produces a hard, corrosion-resistant oxide layer directly from the base material.
Solution: Anodizing / Hard-Anodizing
Defined mechanical properties for highly stressed aluminium structural parts
Aluminium alloys often only reach their required strength through targeted heat treatment. We tailor the process to the alloy, component geometry and the required mechanical properties.
Solution: Heat Treatment of Aluminium
Reproducible quality with small batch sizes and high variant numbers
Unlike series production, aerospace often focuses on small batch sizes with high documentation requirements. Our process monitoring and quality assurance are designed for exactly these requirements.
Solution: Quality inspections
Quality & process reliability
Documented Processes for Demanding Components
For every component, we develop a process tailored to its requirements, with complete documentation and recurring inspections – even for small batch sizes.
Our management systems are certified to IATF 16949, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001. The certificates document the respective scopes. More on quality and environment.
