AS9100:2015 governs our entire quality management system, from receiving inspection through final shipment. Every process variable is controlled and documented: surface preparation method, blast media selection, coating application parameters, cure temperature profiles, and inspection criteria. ISO 9001:2015 provides the foundation for continuous improvement. Calibrated instruments are maintained on documented schedules, and all personnel hold current Cerakote Advanced Applicator training.

Yes. Valve bodies, flow restrictors, and downhole tool components with internal passages and complex geometries receive targeted blast preparation. Nozzle selection and blast angle are adjusted to reach recessed areas and internal surfaces. Critical sealing surfaces and threads are masked before blasting. The goal is complete SP 10 preparation on all surfaces that will receive coating, while protecting dimensions and features that must remain uncoated.

Yes. Polymer coating's flexibility makes it particularly well-suited for components that cycle between temperature extremes. The coating expands and contracts with the substrate without cracking, delaminating, or losing adhesion. This thermal cycling durability is critical for engine components, exhaust systems, industrial process equipment, and outdoor installations that experience daily or operational temperature swings. Cerakote V-Series handles extreme heat up to 2,000 degrees F, but polymer coating handles the flex that comes with thermal cycling better.

Yes. Agricultural equipment uses steel, cast iron, aluminum, and polymer components that all need consistent color appearance. Cerakote applied over properly prepared substrates produces the same spectrophotometer-verified color regardless of the base material. ColoradoKote adjusts surface preparation parameters for each substrate while maintaining the same Delta E 1.5 color standard across the assembly. This ensures your agricultural equipment looks uniform even when components are manufactured from different materials.

Ultrasonic cleaning uses a transducer to generate 40 kHz sound waves in a cleaning solution, creating millions of microscopic cavitation bubbles. These bubbles form and collapse rapidly, producing localized high-energy implosions that dislodge contaminants from surfaces, blind holes, internal passages, and complex geometries. The 40 kHz frequency provides an effective balance between cleaning aggressiveness and surface safety for the range of substrates we process. Cleaning solution chemistry is matched to the substrate material and contamination type.
