Never limit yourself to any single process.....

MROTechnologies roots run deep in the specialized services realm and were started at Tibon Plating which became U.S. Chrome Corporation and much later Aviation Repair Solutions. I have roots in the hard chrome plating industry which supports many classic product designs even to this day. We were the first specialized service with hard chrome plating back in the early 1960s when the MRO industry was just forming. In fact I recollect stories from my father who talked about the founder of Aero Controls working out of his garage in the Seattle area when he started out. 

One thing that I have learned is that technology moves forward and although sometimes it takes time it eventually takes hold. Take for example thermal spray processes. At first they were not that well understood but over time certain applications took root with the new process primarily with OEMs since there were no issues with hydrogen embrittlement and other problems with plated coatings. Although to date plated coatings still have better bond strengths than thermal spray coatings like HVOF and Plasma Spray. 

Emergent technologies, which I am part  of directly, include a process called Cold Spray which is the supersonic deposition of particles on to a substrate requires specialized equipment and trained staff. This process will over time replace many repairs using plated coatings such as chrome plating and nickel plating since it doesnt produce any hydrogen embrittlement and welding since Cold Spray does not produce a heat affected zone. Another emergent technology is Nanofusion which is a microplasma arc welding process using very specialized equipment which can create small droplets which alloy with the substrate but without creating a heat affected zone. We have found this excellent for restoration of very fine details or features on parts including carburized parts. 

We have worked with a wide variety of coatings and processes and understand them to provide our clients with a solid solution to their wear, corrosion or damage problems on parts returning from service. These coatings and processes include:

Anodize - hard and sulfuric

Cadmium Plating - standard and low hydrogen embrittlement

Chrome Plating - thin dense and engineering

Cold Spray Deposition

Electroless Nickel Plating

Electronic Balancing

Grinding - surface, blanchard, jig, OD, ID, spherical
