Electropolishing for Aerospace

Precision Electropolishing for Aerospace

Metal parts used in commercial and military helicopters and airplanes must withstand stress and corrosion within demanding cycle life specifications, but stamping and machining can leave parts with surface anomalies that can impact part performance, durability and fatigue life.

Electropolishing eliminates these defects, creating a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that reduces friction, and increases fatigue and stress resistance for these flight-critical parts.

Able Electropolishing has decades of experience providing aerospace manufacturers with cutting-edge electropolishing services that provide precise and consistent results that meet or exceed industry requirements for quality and durability.

Our commitment to quality management and customer satisfaction for our aerospace clients includes AS9100:2016 certification, an internationally recognized quality management standard for aerospace organizations.

Able can also provide high-quality nitric and citric acid passivation for aerospace parts that need a finishing method that maintains original part dimensions. Our expertise in both electropolishing and passivation for the aerospace industry enables us to provide tailored solutions that meet stringent industry requirements.
