- Material cert with heat lot traceability
- First Article Inspection per AS9102
- MIL-A-8625 Type III anodize process cert
What New Orleans Defense Buyers Should Know
Bollinger Shipyards patrol boat parts need marine-grade specs
Coast Guard cutter and Navy patrol boat components require 316 stainless with passivation or marine-grade aluminum with anodize.
Shipboard valve and fitting specs are specific
Navy and Coast Guard shipboard components use MIL-spec materials and finishes. Generic material call-outs will be rejected at receiving.
Gulf Coast humidity and salt air accelerate corrosion
Bare metals corrode rapidly in New Orleans. Specify protective finishes or VCI packaging for all machined parts in transit and storage.
