From hydrogen embrittlement to inconsistent surface preparation, understanding why aerospace components fail after plating is the first step toward preventing costly rework and ensuring manufacturing excellence.
Understanding Hydrogen Embrittlement: Causes, Consequences, and Prevention
Hydrogen embrittlement is an invisible but serious risk in aerospace manufacturing. This blog explains how hydrogen enters metal during electroplating, the consequences of embrittlement failures, and why standardized testing remains the most reliable method of prevention.
Omega participates in the Decatur Manufacturing Day
Omega Research was proud to take part in Decatur Manufacturing Day 2025, joining students, educators, and manufacturers to celebrate innovation and hands-on learning.
Metallography and the Microscopic World of Failure Analysis
Metallography allows aerospace manufacturers to see beyond the surface. By examining the microstructure of metals, Omega Research helps identify root causes of failure, validate manufacturing quality, and strengthen long-term performance.
