All welders at Portsmouth Aviation are trained and qualified in accordance with the latest regulatory certification processes.
#MetalFabrication#Welding
Metal fabrication is the construction of items to create metal structures, utilising cutting, folding and assemblance to produce functioning parts. It is a value-added process that can be used to make both stock and custom products
#PortsmouthAviation#MetalFabrication#Welding
We conduct thorough in-house testing to ensure that all components are blasted, coated, and painted according to specifications. With one of the largest capacities for metal spraying, we offer both versatility and a tailored approach to meet individual paint requirements
Portsmouth Aviation utilized Arctec 28E in the innovative collection hall of V&A's new East Storehouse. Our engineers applied the Thermally Sprayed non-slip coating to the flooring of this multi-story architecture. #Innovation#Arctec28E#Engineering#PortsmouthAviation
Chromate conversion (Alocrom) is a non-electrolytic process which forms a protective iridescent coloured chromate coating on aluminium and its alloys. It works as a great adhesive pre-treatment for painted products. #ChromateConversion#PortsmouthAviation#Innovation
Whether its Tin, Zinc or Zinc‑Nickel these processes deposit a sacrificial layer onto to the piece part, which forms a barrier between the surface of the piece part and the corrosive environment. #MetalFinishing#PortsmouthAviation#Innovation
Anodising is an electrolytic process that converts the surface of the aluminium substrate with a protective oxide layer, increasing corrosion resistance and wear resistance. It also enhances adhesion for paint primers and glues. #PortsmouthAviation#Anodising
Metal finishing has the power to enhance the performance, durability, and protection of the components we produce, enabling our process technicians to create reliable and long lasting coatings that can withstand challenging environments and operational demands #MetalFinishing
At Portsmouth Aviation we pride ourselves in producing a high standard of Metal Finishing processes for over 60 years. This is ranging from Electroplating to Chemical Conversions and many more in between. #PortsmouthAviation#Engineering#Innovation
Metal finishing is the application of various coatings to enhance the performance, corrosive protection and appearance of metals and aluminium alloys. #PortsmouthAviation#MetalFinishing#Engineering
