Insights

Every step precision

Real experience in aerospace, military, and industrial coating

AM Post-Processing

AM Post-Processing: Production-Ready Surface Finish

Raw AM parts fail acceptance with Ra 8-15 micrometer roughness. Cerakote reduces surface roughness below 3 micrometers at 0.5-2 mils, maintaining tolerances within 0.005 inches.

Cerakote Ceramic Coating

Cerakote Ceramic Coating for Extreme Environments

Components fail when coatings break down under salt spray, thermal cycling, and chemicals. Cerakote bonds at the molecular level, delivering 3,000 hours of corrosion resistance.

Chemical Conversion Coating

Chemical Conversion Coating for Aluminum Protection

Bare aluminum corrodes from moisture, salt spray, and galvanic contact. MIL-DTL-5541 conversion coating creates a corrosion-resistant barrier under 1 micron thickness.

Custom Color Matching

Custom Color Matching with Delta E ≤1.5 Consistency

Color variance drives rework and rejections. Spectrophotometric matching holds Delta E 1.5 across multi-year production runs. Aerospace and defense programs benefit most.

Passivation for Stainless Steel Corrosion Protection

Stainless steel corrodes when free iron and surface contaminants compromise the chromium oxide layer. Passivation restores and strengthens that protective barrier through controlled chemical treatment.

Polymer Coating

Polymer Coating: Flexible Protection for Demanding Parts

Rigid coatings crack on parts that flex or absorb impact. Polymer coatings conform to substrate movement while resisting chemicals and abrasion. Flexibility meets durability.

Sandblasting and Surface Prep

Sandblasting and Surface Prep for Coating Adhesion

Coating failures trace to poor surface prep. SSPC-SP 10 near-white blast removes 95% of contaminants and creates 2-4 mil profiles for coating adhesion.

Ultrasonic Cleaning

Ultrasonic Cleaning for Maximum Coating Adhesion

Coating failures trace to poor surface prep. Ultrasonic cavitation at 40 kHz removes contaminants manual methods miss, delivering ASTM D3359 5B adhesion ratings.
