Sifco White Paper Talks Best Kept Aerospace Secret
The white paper makes the case for a wider adoption of selective plating, both for salvage and repair as well as many OEM applications.
A chromate application is applied to the bushing of landing gear.
One of the world’s leading supplier of selective plating technology, Sifco ASC, has produced a white paper that outlins the increased efficiency potential of the process for aerospace applications.
By highlighting the performance and portability of the aerospace approved Sifco Process, the white paper makes the case for a wider adoption of selective plating, both for salvage and repair as well as many OEM applications.
Using case studies and comparisons with other plating technologies, the paper demonstrates the advantages of the selective plating process most notably the quality of its mechanical properties, the low cost of capital investment, its viability as an alternative to cadmium, and its ease and speed of use - including its on-site deployment in hangars and in the field.

Hexavalent-Chromium-Free Aluminum Sacrificial Paint Validation
Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen, repro-toxin and mutagen. Its elimination is of high importance to the aerospace industry, which has struggled to find high performing alternatives. Legacy aluminum sacrificial paints have traditionally utilized hexavalent chromium to prevent corrosion and coatings which are equal to or better than have been difficult. This second of two papers discusses the hexavalent-chromium-free process from the user point-of-view in terms of the process validation work by Rolls Royce Corporation.
