Metal parts used in helicopters and airplanes must withstand stress and corrosion within demanding cycle life specifications. Whether stamped or machined, these parts almost always have surface anomalies that can cause premature failure.
Electropolishing creates a smooth, corrosion-resistant surface that increases cycle life for these flight-critical parts.
Improving the Lifecycle of Part for Commercial and Military Aircrafts and Aerospace Applications. When engineering components for the aerospace industry, it's crucial to ensure performance and meet demanding cycle life specifications.

Contract manufacturers face intense pressure to keep their production processes streamlined, efficient and fast – without sacrificing quality.
In industries like medical device, aerospace, semiconductor, and automotive manufacturing, precision isn’t just a goal – it’s a necessity. A single imperfection, invisible to the naked eye, can result in catastrophic failures.
Carbon steel is widely favored in manufacturing for its affordability, hardness and ability to undergo heat-treatment to increase durability. Used in gears, springs, and other critical metal parts, it’s known for versatility and reliability.
Precision and reliability are non-negotiable standards in the aerospace industry, where every component must meet strict requirements for performance, durability, and safety.
