Aerospace Coatings Services
Armoloy aerospace coatings provide corrosion resistance with no part distortion and comply with AMS 2438, AMS 2460, and NADCAP.
The Purpose of Aerospace Coatings
Aerospace coatings and plating play a crucial role in ensuring the longevity and reliability of aircraft and spacecraft by providing essential protection and performance enhancements for various components. These specialized coatings are designed to offer excellent resistance to corrosion,
wear, and extreme temperatures,
which are common challenges in aerospace environments.
Additionally, aerospace coatings improve fuel efficiency by reducing drag, enhancing aerodynamics, and lowering maintenance costs. Compliance with stringent industry standards such as AMS 2438, AMS 2460, and NADCAP ensures that aerospace coatings meet the highest quality and safety requirements, making them indispensable in modern aerospace applications.
Aerospace Coatings and Surface Treatments
Designed for high-precision aerospace applications, Armoloy aerospace coatings and surface treatments won’t affect tight part tolerances, making them ideal for precision applications requiring increased wear, corrosion, and lubricity properties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Aerospace coatings must be durable yet lightweight, able to adhere to a variety of substrates, and withstand mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations. They also need to meet strict regulatory standards, such as AS9100 and NADCAP, while being cost-effective and sustainable.
Corrosion-resistant aerospace coatings, such as electroless nickel plating, are designed to protect metal parts from oxidation and chemical damage. These coatings form a barrier that helps aircraft components resist corrosion even in highly corrosive environments.
While Armoloy coatings can be applied to complex geometries, some extreme shapes may require special considerations or alternative coating methods to ensure complete coverage.
