Titanium and other High-Performance Alloys contain high corrosion resistance, high strength and rigidity, and the ability to withstand elevated temperatures, making them perfect for parts that need to hold up in the most extreme conditions. They are popular in aerospace applications and can be used for rotors, compressor blades, hydraulic components, engines, frames and much more.
Titanium is also biocompatible and not rejected by the body, making it a top choice for many medical applications like impants and surgical implements.

Anodizing creates a thin oxidized layer that may be dyed a certain color. It is available for Aluminum or Stainless Steel materials and makes the surface non-conductive. Type I (thin) or Type III (thick) anodizing is offered. Colors include: Clear, Black, Red, Blue, Orange, Purple, Green, and Brown.

Chromate coating provides corrosion resistance and serves as a primer for powder coating while maintaining conductivity. Coatings are soft and gelatinous when first applied, hardening and becoming hydrophobic over time. This process creates an iridescent or yellow tint.
ASTM-B-912
Removes iron from stainless steel surfaces and enhances the chromium/nickel content. Produces a mirror-like finish superior to manual polishing. Surface quality depends on the condition of the pre-electropolished part. Electropolishing cannot remove digs, gouges, or scratches.
ASTM A967, AMS2700, ASTM A380
Uses nitric or citric acid to create a protective oxide layer on corrosion-resistant steels. Improves the corrosion-resistant properties of austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic stainless steels.
Applies a thin metallic layer to another metal part for improved corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or dimensional restoration of undersized components. Electroplating can be both decorative and functional.
Cerakote (H-240) is a polymer-ceramic composite coating that can be applied to metals, plastics, polymers, and wood. It enhances abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion and chemical resistance, impact strength, and hardness.
