Steel, an iron-carbon alloy, is known for its exceptional tensile strength, ductility, and ability to withstand extreme conditions. In aerospace, specific steels, such as high-strength steels, are commonly used for critical components that require corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength, among other properties.
Stainless steel, particularly grade 17-4PH, is widely used in the aerospace industry. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, good mechanical strength, and some heat resistance. Martensitic stainless steels, such as 17-4PH, provide high tensile strength and are often used in applications requiring high mechanical strength and good corrosion resistance.
Aluminium is widely used in aerospace due to its high corrosion resistance, ductility, and low weight-to-strength ratio. Aluminium alloys are particularly useful for aerospace applications because of their high tensile strength, good fatigue resistance, and excellent machinability.
Cobalt, commonly used in the form of alloys, exhibits exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures. These cobalt alloys find particular utility in aerospace applications, especially in the hot sections of aircraft engines, where they must withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stresses without undergoing deformation or degradation.
Copper, thanks to its exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity properties, plays a crucial role in aircraft electrical systems and heat management. It is often used in the form of alloys to enhance other characteristics, such as corrosion resistance. This includes copper-beryllium alloys, which offer a combination of high strength, conductivity, and durability.
Nickel and its alloys, such as Inconel, have excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and exceptional heat resistance. They are widely used in the aerospace industry, especially in gas turbines, due to their ability to maintain structural strength at very high temperatures. This enables superior performance in extreme environments.
Titanium and its alloys offer high tensile strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, and excellent resistance to extremely high temperatures. Titanium is commonly used for components in jet engines, fuel systems, and structural parts that require both high strength and low density. The properties of titanium make it a perfect choice for aerospace applications where heat resistance and lightweight characteristics are crucial.
A welding electrode is a crucial consumable in the arc welding process. Made from a metal compatible with the materials being welded, it is used to provide the necessary filler metal for creating the welded joint. The flux coating on the electrode helps stabilize the welding arc, protect the molten pool from contaminants, and can also contribute to the filler metal.
In the aerospace industry, engineering plastics and plastic-based composites are playing an increasingly important role due to their low weight, corrosion resistance, and ability to be shaped into complex forms. Our plastics are specific polymer materials chosen for their unique properties.
For example, PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) is known for its high temperature and corrosion resistance, low friction coefficient, and excellent electrical insulation properties. Polyoxymethylene is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with excellent rigidity, good wear resistance, and low moisture absorption.
MIL-P materials are military-grade plastics specified by standards to meet precise performance requirements.
