 In aerospace and military missions, many important functions rely on printed circuit boards (PCBs) to provide electricity. A malfunctioning PCB can jeopardize an entire flight, so it is important to make sure the PCB can withstand harsh situations. Environmental exposure can lead to issues such as corrosion, so PCBs are manufactured with a conformal coating to protect the exposed components on the surface of the board. A conformal coating is a thin, clear polymeric film that coats the board’s surface and ultimately ensures a longer working lifespan. Conformal coatings are used across many fields, but different environments demand different forms of protection. For this reason, it is important to make sure the correct material is chosen for the coating.

While all fasteners are prone to wear and deterioration throughout their operational lifespan, several preventative measures can be implemented to delay this occurrence. Installing components slowly, avoiding dirty threads, and using lubricants are all essential steps in combating early attrition. Another technological development that has significantly contributed to increased fastener lifespans is anti-seize, which is a compound that targets several of the hallmarks associated with fastener wear. In this blog, you will find a definitive guide to anti-seize, in which we will discuss its function and how to apply it to your application.

Keeping a jet engine running as efficiently as possible is critical. An efficient engine is safer, works better, and uses less fuel to run. As such, operators are always looking for ways to maximize the efficiency of their jet engine. One such way is compressor cleaning.
