How Engineered Coatings Prevent Equipment Failure in Aerospace Applications

Aerospace environments involve some of the toughest conditions for equipment. Threats like friction, galling, corrosion and high temperatures can cause some of the industry’s most common metals and alloys to fail.

In powder and bulk solids handling processes, many conditions can hinder equipment reliability and performance.

Engineered Coating Unsticks Food Processing Operation

Sticky glues and adhesives as well as wear and abrasion are particularly common threats to machine reliability, and they can halt production as workers clean and repair the damage. Over time, these interruptions can significantly impact the bottom line.

Engineered Coatings Give Old Parts New Life

When machine parts wear out, they can hurt the plant’s productivity and costs. While replacing these parts may be appropriate, MRO professionals should consider refurbishing them with the help of engineered surface enhancement coatings.

Engineered Coatings Optimize Powder and Bulk Solids Equipment Output

In the powder bulk solids industry, precise metering and efficient material feeding are critical. However, several conditions can hinder machine performance and affect lifetime.

Engineered Coatings Protect Valves in Harsh Conditions of Oil and Gas Facilities

As oil and gas facilities move to more remote locations with extreme conditions, any equipment downtime due to parts failure can be costly.

Throughout the food processing process, a variety of conditions can affect your equipment’s performance and reliability.

To Keep Mining Operations Running, Protect Valves With Engineered Coatings

Mining and mineral processing facilities present a host of threats that can affect valve reliability and uptime. Knife gate valves used in slurry transport, for example, must consistently perform despite heavy contact with abrasive, corrosive metal solids or acids that can erode the valve.

Carrying Forward a Legacy of Excellence in Aerospace

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. Magnaplate was part of the Apollo program's success from the beginning, both on the ground innovating surface coatings for space exploration and, later, on the moon protecting the drill tubes that sampled the moon's soil and rocks.
