HARDIDE COATINGS SECURES AS9100
AEROSPACE QUALITY STANDARD CERTIFICATION
Hardide Coatings, which develops and applies tungsten carbide-based hard
coatings, has secured AS9100 Aerospace Quality Standard Certification for its UK
manufacturing facility in Bicester, Oxfordshire and is now recognised as a
certified aerospace manufacturing supplier.
AS9100 demonstrates the presence of a robust and consistent aerospace quality
system. It includes and enhances the ISO9001 standard by focusing on the more
rigorous requirements of the aerospace industry. Many aerospace original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) will only work with suppliers who are registered
to AS9100.
Graham Hine, Chief Executive Officer of Hardide plc said: "Hardide is
currently customer-approved for use in the production of BAE Systems'
Eurofighter Typhoon canopy and is midway through a three year coatings approval
test programme with Airbus. AS9100 certification widens our approval to an
internationally-recognised industry standard and will give us greater access to
top tier aerospace manufacturing companies.
"The coating is generating significant interest from the industry as it can coat
internal surfaces and offers significant technical and environmental advantages
over hard chrome and HVOF coatings. We are currently in discussion or testing
with several leading manufacturers on specific applications."
Hardide Coatings applies tungsten carbide-based precision coatings to a wide
range of engineering components made from ferrous and nickel-based alloys. Its
patented technology provides exceptional wear resistance against abrasion,
erosion and corrosion and is proven to offer dramatic cost savings through
reduced downtime and extended part life. The unique wear properties of Hardide
and the precise nature of the coating process make it ideal for aerospace and
industrial gas turbine applications such as airframe, landing gear, pins, hooks,
catches, turbine blades, positive locking systems and actuator-related products.
Hardide Coatings currently holds ISO9001 and ISO14001. Hardide plc (AIM: HDD)
is listed on the London Stock Exchange Alternative Investment Market.
