How Selective Electroplating Extends Service Life and Reduces the Cost of Aerospace Components

In the aerospace industry, components are subjected to harsh operating environments. Extremes of temperature, corrosive particulate matter in the air, friction and a variety of operating factors combine to increase the risk of wear and tear, corrosion, and damage.

Component defects and hardware deteriorations can result in shutdowns and unscheduled downtime, affecting the operator's dispatch reliability and resulting in higher operating/maintenance costs. If not properly maintained, many of these components - or entire pieces of machinery - may need to be scrapped, increasing capital equipment costs and prolonging downtime.
