Multi-function surface testing facility installed by George Koch provides an innovative solution to help airbus uk move to a chrome-free treatment process

摘要

Process system specialist George Koch Sons Europe has completed a major Penetrant Flaw Detection facility for Airbus UK as part of the aerospace manufacturer's move from chromic to tartaric sulphuric acid anodising. The installation in Chester is now understood to be one of the largest such facilities in the world and operates alongside a purpose-designed water treatment plant, also installed by George Koch. The multistage, self-contained installation is now a key element in the manufacture of Airbus wings and associated components.
