ISO 8081 is part of the aerospace series. ISO 8081 discusses coatings on aluminium alloys. ISO 8081 specifies requirements for producing and testing a general-purpose chemical conversion coating on aluminium alloys.
The chemical conversion coating is used in the manufacturing of aerospace products to improve paint adhesion and resistance to corrosion. This process can be used for the touch-up of anodic coatings.
ISO 8081 on chemical conversion coating for aluminium alloys is applicable to:
ISO 8081 gives you guidelines for chemical conversion coating for aluminium alloys in the aerospace field. Chemical conversion coating provides anti-corrosive properties, and also improves paint adhesion on aircraft and military land vehicles.
ISO 8081 meets the current manufacturing requirements to introduce hexavalent chromium-free conversion coating. ISO 8081 guides the surface treatment process of aerospace products to control product quality, and reduce costs. By adopting ISO 8081, you can demonstrate the reliability of your aerospace products, and build trust in its use throughout the aerospace supply chain.
