Key services
INTRICOAT - for making precision machined components even more beautiful.
Intricate components require very precise areas of surface coating, often defined by masking schemes. We can design these schemes with you to a very high degree of accuracy on a 3D CAD system, meaning that potential pitfalls can be ruled out at the design stage before any prototypes need to be made.
Coating thicknesses and tolerances will require careful measurement and monitoring. Specialist coatings and primers may be required. Every angle of every component will need to be scrutinised before it leaves our plant. INTRICOAT brings all of these disciplines together in a dedicated facility
TiZr passivation pre-treatment for clean metal, aluminium adhesive bonding and welding
We have been using the latest Gardobond® chrome-free pre-treatment systems for over a decade. This is a TiZr (Titanium zirconium) passivation process applied to aluminium components ( cast, extruded or formed) to enhance adhesive durability for metal-to-metal bonding and friction stir welding.
With extensive experience in TiZr technology we are able to give advice to clients on a project by project basis. The process meets:-
