Chemical & Electrochemical Treatments
Chemically driven surface processes that enhance corrosion resistance, adhesion, and specification compliance.
LubeCo provides chemical and electrochemical surface treatment services that modify and protect metal substrates for critical applications. These processes are performed using controlled chemistries and documented procedures to ensure consistent results across a wide range of materials and part geometries.
Key Benefits
- Improved corrosion resistance through controlled chemical surface modification
- Enhanced surface stability for parts exposed to harsh or variable environments
- Improved adhesion for downstream coatings and dry film lubricants
- Specification-aligned processing for aerospace and regulated applications
- Consistent, repeatable results across production runs and part geometries
Technical Range
LubeCo’s chemical and electrochemical surface treatment capabilities include processes designed to alter surface chemistry, improve corrosion resistance, and meet applicable industry and customer specifications, including:
- Anodizing: Aluminum anodizing performed to MIL-A-8625, including Type I, Type II, and Type III processes
- Passivation: Chemical passivation processes applied to stainless steel and other alloys to enhance corrosion resistance and surface cleanliness
- Conversion Coating: Chemical conversion coatings applied to improve corrosion protection and coating adhesion
- Phosphate Coating: Phosphate treatments used to prepare surfaces for subsequent coating or lubrication processes
OnSite Equipment
LubeCo’s solid dry film lubricant operations are supported by equipment and process controls appropriate for applying molybdenum-, graphite-, and tungsten-based coatings in both organic and inorganic systems, including:
- Dedicated dry film coating application systems, such as controlled spray equipment designed for uniform film deposition
- Curing and bake ovens used to properly set and bond dry film lubricant coatings
- Material handling and fixturing systems to ensure consistent coverage across complex geometries and threaded components
- Surface preparation equipment to support proper adhesion of dry film coatings
- Environmental controls to maintain clean conditions during application and curing
