Surface Technology

Bodycote can provide surface technology solutions for a range of properties including wear control, corrosion resistance, thermal efficiency and conductiveness to protect against lightning strikes.

Without these surface treatments, today's aircraft components would not operate to the required standards. Our surface technology solutions extend component life, act as a thermal barrier to reduce material operating temperatures and improve engine efficiency.
