From takeoff to landing, corrosion control helps ensure long-term safety, performance and equipment integrity.
The aviation industry relies on the highest standards to ensure the safety and integrity of its equipment. Corrosion has both aesthetic and operational impacts on equipment that can affect aircraft performance, integrity and ultimately safety.
At RIE Coatings, we provide specialized aviation coatings at an AS9100D- and ITAR-certified Albuquerque facility. We perform the entire coating process in-house, including nondestructive testing and custom packaging of the coated components.
Our solutions offer dielectric strength, manage thermal emissivity, prevent galvanic corrosion and ensure compatibility with aerospace materials and structures.
As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company with extensive industry experience, you can rely on us to tackle complex coating projects while delivering premium services.
Our innovative, advanced coatings provide essential protection to satellites, drones, fixed-wings and rotary wing components.
Depending on your finishing needs, you can choose various solutions:
RIE Coatings’ solutions perform an integral role in mitigating corrosion and extending aircraft and spacecraft life. They protect aerospace components in various ways:
This electrochemical surface treatment creates a corrosion-resistant oxide layer on aluminum, one of the industry’s primary structural materials. Real-world examples of its use include:
Chromating or chromate conversion coatings provide excellent corrosion resistance properties to aluminum components. They also provide a great surface for primer paint adhesion.
This coating appears in:
This treatment deposits a consistent, corrosion-resistant layer of nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron alloy on components without using electricity.
It’s ideal for:
The operating environment of aerospace vehicles remains relentlessly harsh, threatening the structural integrity and aerodynamic performance of critical components. Our solutions serve as a sacrificial barrier, shielding them from the elements for long-term performance.
We apply protective coatings to various aerospace vehicles:
In space, satellites experience solar radiation, considerable temperature changes and micrometeoroid and orbital debris impacts. Our coatings for satellites shield your components from these conditions, ensuring proper satellite functionality.
The lightweight construction of unmanned aerial vehicles increases their susceptibility to environmental factors. By applying coatings to drone wings and bodies, we empower you to supply durable equipment with less drag and better thermal control.
Fixed wings endure rain, sand, hail and temperature changes, which can lead to corrosion over time. To maintain structural integrity and performance, we apply commercial aircraft protective coatings, particularly along leading edges and fastener lines.
Rotor blades experience fatigue and environmental degradation over time. Our specialized coatings safeguard them from abrasion and corrosion to preserve their performance and structural integrity.
Our solutions help each part of your build last longer, perform better, increase safety and maintain fuel efficiency.
