High Performance
The aerospace industry demands high performance from lightweight materials capable of withstanding extreme loads often in an aggressive environment.
MIC’s metal and material surface treatments can extend these performance characteristics by protecting the surface from external damage and extending the cyclic performance.
The application of engineered compressive residual stresses and engineered coatings that reduce applied loads and environmental/service damage respectively ensure products meet or exceed design specification.
On-site Processing
Our field crews perform on-site Shot Peening worldwide to the same quality standards as our processing centres. On-site processing is ideally suited for aircraft overhaul, repair and corrosion removal including wing sections and fuselage, undercarriage and other dynamically loaded components.
Protection from material failures
Most metallic components used by the aerospace industry, whether for airframe, aero-engine, undercarriage, actuator systems or transmission components (gears for example) use key surface treatments to meet critical material performance targets.
These treatments have undergone laboratory and field testing to ensure reliability in extreme conditions to deal with the following material failure modes:
- Fatigue
- Galling
- Fretting
- Stress corrosion cracking
- Corrosion
- Wear
Applications
- Airframe - wing skins, ribs, spars, stringers, fuselage frames, brackets and fasteners
- Aero-engine - turbine and compressor blades, blisks, blums, shafts, gears
- Undercarriage
- Actuator systems
- On-site and MRO processing worldwide
