Aerospace Nano Coatings and Nano Structured Coatings
Nano Coatings are making changes in how corrosion protection is applied on aerospace alloys and components. Aerospace coatings have often been pioneered in the space environment while the aero environment would lean toward traditional solutions and migrate to newer technologies over time. New advances in Nano structured coatings offer the potential for significant improvements in engineering properties of aero components as well as space components. The potential benefits include higher hardness, wear-resistance, erosion-resistance, abrasion-resistance, oxidation and corrosion-resistance, self cleaning, anti-ice, and flame-retardent coating applications.
Aerospace companies and some goverment agencies are starting to use, or investigate the use of nanocoatings to add special characteristics to aircraft frames, interior components, engine parts, and other component surfaces, which can can benefit from the improved properties of nano-coatings.
Maintenance cost can be reduced through the use of nanocoatings, this is due to the extended life-span of the coatings and the increased on-the-wing time resulting from a longer lasting coating. This is particularly true in military aviation, but also in general and commercial aviation.
