The 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.
