Comprehensive Finishing for Military Applications

Military-grade equipment requires coatings and treatments that withstand impact, abrasion, and environmental extremes. Diamond Metal Finishing delivers integrated services with tight process control and deep expertise in component masking, specification matching, and material compatibility.

✦ Military Anodizing (Type II & Type III)

Anodizing enhances corrosion protection and part longevity for aluminum defense components.

• Type II Anodizing: Used for vehicle panels, control covers, radio cases, and modular gear components. Color-coded options for unit designation or function.
• Type III Hardcoat: Delivers abrasion and wear resistance for mounting hardware, frames, and weapon attachments.
• Meets MIL-A-8625 Type II and Type III requirements with racking, masking, and oxide thickness verification.
• PTFE-infused options available for low-friction performance in sliding or rotating parts.

✦ Military Powder Coating

Powder coatings provide camouflage, durability, and environmental resistance for tactical and transport gear.

• Supports AAMA 2604/2605 performance and MIL-PRF coating requirements.
• Applied to ruggedized enclosures, antenna mounts, racks, and mounting brackets.
• Custom matte, texture, and camouflage color blends available.
• Multi-coat systems for chemical, UV, and salt spray resistance.

✦ Military Laser Engraving

Laser engraving ensures permanent part identification and compliance with defense traceability protocols.

• Engrave NSNs, serial numbers, lot codes, or DOD-mandated part markings.
• Available on anodized, stainless, and powder-coated components.
• Deep engraving for abrasion-prone surfaces and mission-critical hardware.

✦ Military Screen & Digital Printing

We offer labeling and marking services to support equipment identification, user interface labeling, and safety notices.

• Screen printing for durable, solvent-resistant graphics on control panels and communication gear.
• Digital printing for color-coded tags, equipment overlays, and schematic diagrams.
• Inks rated for field use, UV exposure, and cleaning resistance.

✦ Military CNC Routing

Precision routing supports structural and interface parts for defense assemblies requiring fitment accuracy and material flexibility.

• Cutouts and backplanes for aluminum enclosures, Glastic panels, polycarbonate shields, and G10 fixtures.
• Used in command consoles, avionics modules, and ruggedized field stations.

✦ Military Chemical Conversion Coating (Chem Film)

Chromate conversion provides corrosion resistance and conductivity for aluminum components in mixed-metal military systems.

• Clear and gold finishes using Iridite and Alodine systems.
• Meets MIL-DTL-5541 for conductive coatings and primer adhesion.
• Applied to interface zones, RF panels, and mounting plates.
