Protective coating
Protective coating
To protect components against wear and heat or carry out dimensional adjustments, we use various coating processes. MTU Aero Solutions offers you access to these processes.
Electrolytic and chemical deposition and coating removal processes
Electrolytic and chemical deposition and coating removal processes are used to change the surface properties of an object (e.g. abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities, etc.), but may also be used to build up thickness on undersized parts or to form objects.
| Process | Objective | Possible base materials |
|---|---|---|
| Applying and removing chrome plating |
|
|
| Applying and removing nickel plating (sulfamate, chemical nickel) |
|
|
| Deposition and removal of Tribotal 23 (Co/Cr203 dispersion layer) |
|
|
| Platinization |
|
|
Conversion coating processes
