The NanoOxide™ Surface Treatment is an environmentally friendly/chromium-free process that delivers improved fatigue properties and provides corrosion resistance comparable to anodized/painted systems currently used for 2xxx & 7xxx aircraft wheels. This new surface treatment is available in a range of colors, does not require use of conventional primers or topcoats, and offers improved clean-ability and the potential for reduced maintenance cycles.
