BUOYANCY AEROSPACE Launches Next-Gen Anodising Line for Aerospace Manufacturing
BUOYANCY AEROSPACE Unveils New Anodising Line for Aerospace Industry
On September 17, 2025, BUOYANCY AEROSPACE proudly announced the launch of its innovative Thin-Film Sulphuric Acid Anodising (TFSAA) treatment line, adhering to MIL-A-8625 Type IIB standards. This production-ready facility represents a significant advancement in the aerospace and defense manufacturing sector, designed to meet the industry's rigorous requirements.
The TFSAA line is fully automated, harnessing a custom-developed PLC for deterministic and high-resolution control at the tank level. Rigorous testing has validated this system across more than 100 failure injection scenarios, demonstrating its capacity to deliver swift and predictable responses. Remarkably, since the commencement of commercial production, BUOYANCY AEROSPACE has reported no incidents of process control deviations, establishing a new benchmark for quality in aerospace anodising processes.
Traditional anodising lines often rely on single-level safety devices. In contrast, BUOYANCY AEROSPACE's facility employs a multi-faceted approach to safety. This includes electrical isolation, multi-sensor detection for smoke and heat, and automatic suppression systems. Furthermore, all safety measures comply with the RC45 fire safety guidelines set by RISCAuthority, ensuring a high standard of operational safety. The advanced monitoring features integrated into the system keep operators well-informed about the facility’s status, enhancing workplace safety and efficiency.
Dr. Deepak Asokan, the Operations Manager in the UK, emphasized the strategic significance of this investment: “By incorporating resilience and pathways for upgrades directly into our sovereign defense manufacturing processes, we mitigate risks for our clients' programs.” This proactive approach not only enhances safety but also builds trust with their partners in the highly competitive aerospace market.
Future-Ready Capacity
The anodising line is equipped for future demands, utilizing chromium-free chemistries, including TCS/PACS for conversion and post-sealing processes. The facility also enables rapid scalability and upgrades with minimal disruptions, making it a forward-looking investment for clients. The integration of non-destructive testing capabilities, such as ultrasonic testing (UT), penetrant testing (PT), magnetic testing (MT), eddy current testing (ET), and radiography, underscore BUOYANCY AEROSPACE’s commitment to quality assurance in aerospace components.
“The TFSAA line represents an integrated processing capability with built-in safety measures for critical aerospace components,” stated Daniel Hutta, BUOYANCY AEROSPACE’s UK Head of Quality, Compliance, and Safety. Hutta directed the interdisciplinary program that brought this pioneering facility to fruition, highlighting the collaborative effort that ensures high standards across operations.
As the demand for independent and resilient defense industrial capacity grows in Europe, BUOYANCY AEROSPACE is well-positioned to respond to this need. Their partnership with allied institutions in the aerospace, space, and defense sectors underpins their innovative approach to manufacturing and engineering solutions driven by artificial intelligence, ensuring speed, precision, and reliability in service delivery.
