WHY CERAKOTE® FOR AEROSPACE?

Aerospace materials are exposed to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, pressure fluctuations, UV radiation, and corrosive environments. Traditional coatings may fail under such conditions, but Cerakote offers several key advantages:

  • Résistance à la corrosion : Protects against oxidation and chemical exposure, extending the lifespan of aerospace components.
  • Thermal Stability: Withstands high temperatures without degradation, making it ideal for engine components and exhaust systems.
  • Low Reflectivity: Coatings that are tailored for low reflectivity in the visible and the IR spectrum.
  • Léger et fin Application : Adds minimal weight to aircraft parts, a crucial factor in aerospace engineering. Typical thickness application range is 6µm – 50µm.
  • Résistance à l'abrasion et à l'usure : Reduces wear on moving parts and improves longevity.
  • Résistance chimique : Resists exposure to aviation fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other harsh chemicals.
  • Customizable Aesthetic & Functionality: Available in a range of colors and finishes, including non-reflective and infrared-resistant options for military and stealth applications.

APPLICATIONS IN AEROSPACE

Cerakote is utilized in a variety of aerospace applications, including:

  • Aircraft Engine Components: Protects turbine blades, exhaust systems, and heat-sensitive parts from extreme temperatures and corrosion.
  • Structural Components: Enhances the durability of landing gear, fasteners, and brackets.
  • Avionics & Electronics: Shields sensitive components from environmental damage and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
  • Interior & Exterior Surfaces: Provides a durable finish for cockpit controls, seats, gallies, and exterior surfaces.
  • Spacecraft & Satellites: Used in space applications where resistance to radiation, extreme cold, and vacuum conditions is critical.

AEROSPACE TESTING

Essais de la FAA :

Il est recommandé de remplacer la couche d'étanchéité époxy du système de revêtement actuel par de la Cerakote afin d'atténuer et d'éliminer la délamination et les brûlures de la peau intérieure du capot moteur lorsque l'avion est en vol stationnaire. En outre, la Cerakote C-7700 Q recommandée peut être utilisée pour peindre les capots moteurs actuels afin d'améliorer leur résistance à la chaleur. La Cerakote est utilisée depuis longtemps dans l'industrie automobile pour fournir une barrière thermique aux systèmes d'échappement afin de réduire la température du compartiment moteur, les résultats obtenus dans le cadre de cette étude suggèrent pour la première fois son applicabilité dans les avions.
