Exact have identified a type of material coating that is currently used within other industries that would have applications within the aerospace industry. Through early discussions with stakeholders, there has been an agreement that if this coating passes the industrial testing required, then it has a commercial advantage.This project is aimed at developing a longer in use product for the aerospace industry through developing components with superior mechanical and chemical properties compared to components developed with coatings currently. Developing components utilising this new process will;\*Improve the wear and tear over time\*Provide superior abrasion, corrosion, and chemical resistance\*Improve strength and durabilityThis also indicates that introducing this material coating is an innovative perspective within the aerospace industry.This project will look to support the the experimental development process of Exact trialling components with this new coating as an alternative type of product to their core business model. To complete this project, Exact will purchase sample material and coating, analyse the application of the coating on components and plan and undertake required industry testing to ensure that their performance equals or exceeds that of current coating methods. This will validate the use of this coating on aerospace components. Post successful testing and certification, Exact will be enabled to commercialise this as an addition to their core business.This involves 6 industrial tests that will be carried out on sample components with this coating applied. The assistance provided by fulfilling this project will support the internal labour costs, external consulting coats and sample material costs required to develop samples, administer the required mechanical and chemical testing and validation of the results for the aerospace industry.The output of the project is validation of coating material revolutionised within the aerospace. This will directly align to the strategic focus of destination zero through weight reduction of components for carbon neutral aircrafts.The properties of this coating will improve the operating life of the components whilst dramatically reducing the weight of the components through due to a much lower material density opposed to painting or powder-coating components.

Exact 已经确定了一种目前在其他行业中使用的材料涂层，也将在航空航天行业中得到应用。通过与利益相关者的早期讨论，大家一致认为，如果这种涂层通过了所需的工业测试，那么它就具有商业优势。该项目旨在通过开发与目前使用涂层开发的部件相比具有优异机械和化学性能的部件，为航空航天工业开发使用时间更长的产品。利用这种新工艺开发组件将：\*改善随时间推移的磨损\*提供卓越的耐磨性、耐腐蚀性和耐化学性\*提高强度和耐用性这也表明引入这种材料涂层是航空航天业的一个创新视角。该项目将寻求支持 Exact 试验组件的实验开发过程，使用这种新涂层作为其核心业务模式的替代产品类型。为了完成该项目，Exact 将购买样品材料和涂层，分析涂层在部件上的应用并计划并进行所需的行业测试，以确保其性能等于或超过当前涂层方法的性能。这将验证该涂层在航空航天部件上的使用。成功测试和认证后，Exact 将能够将其商业化，作为其核心业务的补充。这涉及 6 项工业测试，将对应用此涂层的样品组件进行。完成该项目提供的帮助将支持开发样品所需的内部劳动力成本、外部咨询涂层和样品材料成本、管理所需的机械和化学测试以及航空航天工业结果的验证。该项目的成果是对航空航天领域革命性涂层材料的验证。通过减轻碳中和飞机的部件重量，这将直接符合“零目的地”的战略重点。这种涂层的特性将提高部件的使用寿命，同时由于与喷漆或粉末涂层部件相比材料密度低得多，因此可显着减轻部件的重量。
