Chromic Acid Anodizing
Electrochemical process applied to produce an oxide coating on the surface of parts. Standard coating has a thickness range between 2-4 micron depending on alloys processed.
Chromic anodizing is used for corrosion protection and improve adhesion features for following organic coating.
Oxide coating can be sealed or not into different chemical solutions (dependig on final application of the parts), either with or without chrome, or colored according to pigmentation added.

Convertion coating process is applied by immersion into tanks containig convertion solutions which, in contact with the items, produce a trivalent chromium protective film on the surfaces of item. Generally applied on the bonding surface to garantee electrical continuity.
Covertion coating improves the corrosion resistance and paint adehsion fetures for organic coatings.
Unlike anodizing process, convertion coating does not change dimensions and, thanks to easy application during assembly and MRO activities, is used for touch-up or anodizing restore.

Silver Plating
Silver plating is an electrolytic process applied by silver-ions deposition released from anode installed inside tanks. Part immerses into a cyanide solution work as cathode.
This plating provides good conductivity features, either electrical or termal, and gives a lower coefficient of friction between moving parts, in addition to being anti-fretting for threaded items.
Plating thickness can vary between few microns up to tenths of millimeters according the end use of the parts.

Electroless Nickel Plating
Electroless nickel plating is a chemical process applied by immersion of part into tanks containing nickel sulphate solution. This process is used to obtain compact plating, also for high thickness solutions, in order to improve corrosion and abrasion resistance. Moreover, electroless nickel plating is used to restore required dimension parts which are either worn or erroneously machined.

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection
Fluorent penetrant inspection is a non-destructive testing generally used for metal materials but, in case of specific technical requirments, can also be used for no metal materials.
With high sensitivity and precision, the inspection points out and make evident open discontinuty such as cracks, porosity and corrosions, although very small dimensions. The inspection is not applicable to porous materials.
