There are many reasons why IVD aluminum coatings are used by the aerospace industry. IVD aluminum is, above all, supposed to offer galvanic protection in applications where titanium alloys, copper or steel are interconnected. One of the procedure’s major advantages is that the coating can be used on large components in lengths of up to 1.5 meters. However, bulky small parts, such as fastening elements or bushings, can easily be coated using drum processes. Further advantages include: Improved corrosion protection for low-alloy steels, copper alloys or forged/cast aluminum Barrier and protective layers in aggressive environments, also in contact with aviation fuel Use of the pure aluminum layer as sealing / sealing surface Stable up to a temperature of 415 °C, electroconductive, good substrate for subsequent varnishing No risk of hydrogen embrittlement in high-strength steels Eco-friendly cadmium coating alternative Increasing availability of the process in the regions surrounding the aircraft manufacturers’ production locations
