Summary for f50tf1 aluminum coating Discussion
The thread asks for a source or substitute for a GE aircraft engines specification, F50TF1, described as an aluminum coating with an inorganic binder for a machined part and later for a 51410 alloy steel casting per AMS5350. The requester says the finish is needed mainly for corrosion protection and high-temperature resistance, and notes that the specification is outdated. In response, P Merk suggests trying Hansen Aerospace Lab, Inc. in Danvers, Massachusetts, giving an AE supplier code and address. Because the original question also asks for an alternative finishing process, the thread does not provide a technical replacement process—only a possible supplier lead. The editor notes the RFQ is outdated but welcomes technical replies, while asking readers not to post public commercial suggestions.
RFQ: HELLO FINISHING.COM:
I HAVE A PART WHICH NEEDS TO BE FINISHED WITH A GE AIRCRAFT ENGINES SPECIFICATION, NAMELY F50TF1, AND THE BLUE PRINT CALL OUT IS ALUMINUM COATING, INORGANICALLY BONDED. MY DILEMMA IS TO FIND A SOURCE WHO CAN APPLY OR SUPPLY THIS PROCESS. PLEASE, IF YOU HAVE ANY SOURCE INFORMATION APPRECIATED. OTHERWISE I WILL BE STUCK WITH MACHINED PART WITH NO PROCESSING.
THANK YOU.

Q. HELLO SIR/MADAM;
I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO TELL ME THE ALTERNATIVE FINISHING PROCESS TO REPLACE ALUMINUM COATING COMPOSED OF ALUMINUM POWDER AND INORGANIC BINDER, WHICH COMPLIES WITH F50TF1, A GE AIRCRAFT SPECIFICATION BACK A CENTURY AGO. SINCE THIS SPEC IS OUTDATED I NEED AN ALTERNATIVE FINISHING. THIS FINISHING WILL BE APPLIED ON 51410 ALLOY, STEEL CASTING PER AMS5350 (BRACKET, GEAR BOX). THE SOLE APPLICATION OF THIS PROCESS SHALL BE TO PREVENT THE PART FROM CORROSION AND RESIST HIGH TEMPERATURE.
BEST REGARDS,
