FLITE is offering a novel amorphous metal coating to replace most other coatings used in the aerospace sector, unmatched in durability and corrosion resistance.

About

FLITE specializes in surface treatment and engineering solutions that reduce or replace conventional use of toxic and temporary chemical coatings. From laser surface functionalization to diamond deposition and amorphous metal, our products are efficient, clean substitutes that offer permanent, resilient protection.

Key Benefits

This particular solution is the same weight and CTE of ordinary steel, is chemically and mechanically bonded to metallic surfaces, offering greater strength than titanium and unmatched corrosion and erosion protection. Unlike zinc and hexavalent chromium, or other metallic coatings, there is no environmental toxicity, while maintaining full recovery and recyclability of the product.

Applications

Aircraft surfaces (leading edge, helicopter rotor, landing gear)

Oil and gas pipelines, valves and other heavy infrastructure

Metal structures and supports for construction, especially in saltwater environments

Hydrogen pipeline infrastructure (should resist embrittlement and have no loss of performance under high pressure and low temperature)

Surgical implants (replacement joints and bone grafts)
