Coating

Aluminum Coating
There are many options for coating aluminum, including anodizing, liquid paint and powder coatings. These all require a defect-free surface for complete smoothness, while creating their own risk of surface blemishes.

AMETEK Surface Vision’s inspection solutions can help ensure that the metal substrate is smooth enough for coating applications, and provides monitoring along the coating process for rapid identification of problems.

Aluminum can be coated for protection against environmental conditions or for cosmetic purposes. It can also be used as a plate in printing applications from traditional lithography to computer-to-plate presses.

With decades of applications experience, AMETEK Surface Vision provides powerful defect detection, classification and visualization systems that are trusted by aluminum manufacturers worldwide.
