Maritime/Naval: Watercraft, large and small, need to be as resistant to corrosion as possible. Boat interiors and mechanical parts can be impacted by water damage, especially boats meant to be in saltwater. Conversion coating allows parts to withstand corrosive saltwater environments and pass salt-spray testing methods. The anti-corrosive properties of chemical films are in high demand for this purpose.
The chromate coating’s qualities as a paint primer can be useful here too, for custom colors on watercraft. Anodizing is superior to conversion coatings and produces a non-electrical conductive finish at Van Isle Anodizing in Campbell River offer’s multiple colors from Pink, Deep Purple to Bronze, Navy Blue and Granite Gray plus other shades of Gold.
Aerospace: Aircraft travel at very high rates of speed. The high speed coupled with atmospheric gases at extremely high altitudes contributes to corrosion of aircraft parts. As a result maximum protection is necessary for as many parts as possible. Even passing through clouds can cause corrosion of aircraft parts.
Aluminum corrosion protection is critical to aerospace metal finishing applications and an Alodined or aluminum chromate coated aerospace part can prevent surface exposure to such elements.
