AEROSPACE

For several years, Nitrex has been a part of the ever-evolving aerospace industry that is composed of many segments including aircraft manufacturing and maintenance, aero engines, helicopters, satellites, space vehicles, rockets, missiles, and other upcoming innovative forms of air travel like drones and UAMs.

Heat treating has always played a significant role in aerospace and space exploration history. This history is written every day and will continue to play a significant role in our lives with innovations such as additive manufacturing and the need for critical components, with lower weight and higher temperature resistance for better fuel efficiency, bringing new or previously hard to machine metals into the aerospace material mix. Nitrex’s technologies and product offerings work in tandem with the aerospace industry and its innovations.

Nitriding Systems & Technologies

Nitrex nitriding / nitrocarburizing systems and technologies deliver superior quality and performance, improving the wear and corrosion resistance of steel, stainless-steel, and alloy parts. Nitrex systems can be an integral part of a fully automated production cell with automatic loading and unloading.

 

 

Vacuum Furnaces

Several heat-treating processes used in the aerospace industry require a controlled temperature and environment that can only be achieved in a vacuum furnace. Many parts in aero-engine hot sections, aerostructures, and other complex systems are made from various complex alloys selected specifically for their mechanical properties and life cycle endurance requirements which aerospace components have to meet. And this where a Nitrex furnace comes into play.

Standard aerospace aluminums – 6061, 7050, and 7075

Traditional aerospace metals – nickel 718, titanium 6Al4V, and Stainless 15-5PH

New alloys such as single-crystal nickel-base superalloy, Ti6Al2Zr2Sn2Mo2Cr0.25Si, Titanium aluminide (TiAl) and aluminum lithium (Al-Li) are replacing older alloys, providing improved life cycle, cost and performance.

 

Titanium 5553 (Ti-5553) Ferrium S53 Incoloy, Inconel, Udimet and Hastalloy steel 300M and SAE 4340 are also found in certain niche components to reduce corrosion, thereby reducing the need for subsequent related processing and improving the overall performance of the components.

 

Other alloys include Ti2Cu, Ti6Al2Zr2Sn2Mo2Cr0.25Si, Ti4.5Al4Mo4Sn0.5Si (SP 700), Cast and wrought nickel-base superalloys, Alloy-718, Waspaloy, and powder metallurgy nickel-base superalloys such as RR1000 and U720.
