Remanufacturing Reimagined
How Selective Electroplating Extends Service Life and
Reduces the Cost of Aerospace Components
I
n the aerospace industry, components
are subjected to harsh operating
environments. Extremes of temperature,
corrosive particulate matter
in the air, friction and a variety of operating
factors combine to increase the risk
of wear and tear, corrosion, and damage.
Component defects and hardware deteriorations
can result in shutdowns
and unscheduled downtime, affecting
the operator's dispatch reliability and
resulting in higher operating/maintenance
costs. If not properly maintained,
many of these components - or entire
pieces of machinery - may need to be
scrapped, increasing capital equipment
costs and prolonging downtime.
Environmental concerns, costs of raw
materials, and stricter government regulations
- not to mention cost control and
reduced availability of some metals - have
resulted in aerospace component manufacturers
striving to reduce waste. Worn,
corroded, or damaged components from
across industry contribute to the 73 million
metric tons of ferrous metal, and millions
of tons of non-ferrous metals and
stainless steel scrapped in the US.
This is where remanufacturing offers a
solution. With quality control paramount,
it is important to clarify that the
remanufacturing industries council describes
remanufacturing as a comprehensive,
rigorous industrial process, adding
that components are returned to like new
or in better-than-new condition.
Extending Operational Lifespan
While remanufacturing has a role to
play in reducing scrappage and extending
the operational lifespan of components,
the process itself can be more time-con20
