Aerospace Industry

Brush Plating is not commonly known in the aerospace industry but it has a huge advantage in MRO applications compared to tank electroplating. Furthermore, the use of brush plating to apply surface treatments on OEM components help save valuable time and cost.

Common Application for the Aerospace Industry

Brush Plating is utilized to apply a nickel coating as a pre-brazed procedure. Compared to tank electroplating, it requires less masking and very versatile in applying the process.

Landing gear surfaces often face damage from pebbles striking and causing a ding. Brush Plating can be applied to repair and reapply the corrosion resistance coating.

Aircraft shrouds are complex in structure making it difficult to apply corrosion resistance surface treatment. Brush Plating has the ability to apply targeted plating reducing the time needed to apply surface treatments.

Types of Surface Treatments in the Aerospace Industry

Corrosion Protection

Our Brush Plating techniques create a protective layer on the components, safeguarding them from harsh Troposphere environment and reducing risk of corrosion.

Wear Resistance

Brush Plating enhance wear resistance to critical parts, increasing their durability and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Dimensional Restoration

With precision brush plating, we can restore worn-out components to their original dimensions and specifications, saving costs and resources.

Pre-Braze

Brush Plating ensures a molecular bond, providing superior wetting of surfaces, offering a faster, more consistent, and cost effective alternative to traditional methods.

Advantages

Brush plating allows targeted plating on specific areas in-situ, eliminating the need for excessive masking or intricate disassembly processes and avoiding the complexities of transporting large or anchored components. The quick and efficient plating process minimizes handling, accelerates production, and reduces labour costs.

Brush plating allows accurate metal deposition on specific areas, avoiding the need for complete immersion like bath plating. This targeted approach saves time and effort, reduce material cost and waste.

Brush plating technology offers controlled deposition and uses specialized low-hydrogen solutions, reducing the risk of hydrogen embrittlement. Unlike bath electroplating, it minimizes hydrogen absorption, ensuring better mechanical integrity of the plated surface.
