SIFCO ASC Selective Electroplating and Anodising Solutions for the Aerospace Industry
SIFCO Applied Surface Concepts (SIFCO ASC) provides selective electroplating and anodising solutions, including plating equipment, high-quality chemical systems, and expert training for the aerospace industry.
Selective plating for aerospace overhauls
SIFCO ASC’s portable method of electroplating sections of components without using immersion tanks is used in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) products and for restoring worn or damaged parts.
The company repairs damaged components on-site with its specially designed equipment and plating solutions, reducing major interruptions associated with disassembly and shipping.
There are many operational and maintenance challenges in the aerospace sector such as component wear, corrosion, fretting, and fatigue. SIFCO ASC offers surface treatments for corrosion protection, pre-braze, refurbishment and anodising.
Electroplated deposits for aircraft engineering
SIFCO Process® includes a full portfolio of electroplated deposits that meet the challenging specification requirements for landing gear, flap tracks, turbine casings and housings.
SIFCO Process® provides users with quality-controlled plating solutions, while minimising masking and disassembly for large parts.
The solution reduces production delays, downtime, and hydrogen embrittlement, while the process is environmentally friendly and offers alternatives to cadmium such as zinc-nickel and tin-zinc.
The SIFCO Process increases the service life of aerospace components through their quality plating abilities and have received several industry approvals.
The SIFCO Process® is used by the world’s leading aerospace companies.
