Applied surface treatments

Applied Surface TreatmentsThe following treatments can be applied:

Alocrom1200 / Iridite / Chromate Conversion - are processes which provide corrosion resistance to aluminium parts whilst providing an electrically conductive surface.

Anodising - for protective purposes can be carried out on aluminium alloy castings but cast alloys do not readily accept decorative anodised finishes.

Plating - can be applied to most alloys, this requirement needs to be identified at the enquiry/design stage.

Hipping (Hot Isostatic Pressing) - is used to improve the mechanical properties of aluminium castings by sealing internal voids. This technique can be used as a non-destructive test on critical aluminium parts.

Impregnation - can be carried out on "as cast" or machined parts where pressure tightness is essential.

Paint - for protection or visual purposes.
