PROCESSING
Modern facilities are maintained for the following in-house processing. Combined with experienced assembly personnel and local painting facilities, manufacturing to military and commercial standards is fully complimented with supplemental processes.
Long term relation with certified vendors also provide the finest quality in heat treating, cad plating, anodizing, conversion coatings, tiodize and various special finishes. Complex parts and assemblies are fully manufactured and finished to exact customer requirements.

Mag Particle Inspection
Chemical Film Coating
BPS 4182 (Alodine)
Coating which increases the corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy surfaces. Also improves adhesion of organic finish systems.
Passivation
BPS 4583 (Citric Acid Method)
Chemical process used to enhance corrosion resistant properties. Process also removes contaminants and restores passivity.
Powder Coating
BPS 4465
Leonardo Helicopters
STD 609A5120Z001
Epoxy powder coating for use as a protective coating against corrosion.
Also as an electrical barrier when specified.
Brush Cad Plating
BPS 4312
Process used to repair or touchup steel parts where existing plating has been removed or damaged.
Thermal Fitting
BPS 4012
Assembling thermal fitted units using heating and/or cooling.
Staking
BPS 4162
Retention of bearings used in housings, sleeves, bushings etc.
Rockwell Hardness Testing
BPS 4467
Used to determine hardness acceptance criteria for various alloys.
Penetrant Inspection BPS 4089
Non-destructive inspection used for detecting discontinuities which are open to the surface. For example: cracks, tears, seams, etc.
Magnetic Particle Inspection BPS 4075
Non-destructive inspection used on ferromagnetic materials. This is done by using a fluidized solution which contains a magnetic powder that fluoresces under black light.
