Defense electronics housings require coatings that protect against corrosion and field conditions without altering dimensions on mating surfaces, EMI gasket channels, and connector interfaces. Cerakote's 0.5 to 2 mil film build maintains these critical tolerances where powder coat's 4 to 6 mils would require masking or post-machining. Less coating mass also reduces weight on man-portable electronics and UAV-mounted systems.

Implantable device housings require coating that protects without adding dimensional bulk to components engineered for minimal invasiveness. Cerakote's 0.5 to 2 mil film build provides biocompatible surface protection while preserving the tight tolerances and small profiles these devices demand. This is a fraction of the thickness conventional coatings would add, keeping device dimensions within design specifications.

Yes. Cerakote's 9H pencil hardness and 4,000 cycles per mil abrasion resistance transforms the soft, porous surface of raw AM parts into wear-resistant production components. For industrial applications involving sliding contact, particle erosion, or repeated handling, Cerakote on AM parts performs comparably to conventionally manufactured and coated equivalents. The key is our controlled surface preparation at 40-60 PSI, which creates proper adhesion without damaging the AM geometry, ensuring the wear coating stays bonded under load.

We passivate defense stainless steel components to ASTM A967 and AMS 2700 with full lot traceability and documentation. The process removes free iron and contaminants without any dimensional change, which is critical for weapon system fittings, fasteners, and structural hardware. Our facility has processed over 20,000 parts with zero quality issues, and our documentation packages meet the traceability requirements that defense programs require.

Every chemical conversion coating order includes full lot traceability and processing documentation to MIL-DTL-5541 Type I or Type II specifications. For additive-manufactured parts entering regulated industries, this documentation chain is essential. Our track record of over 20,000 parts with zero quality issues gives AM producers confidence their parts meet spec from print bed to finished coating.
