Aerospace Manufacturer That Manages Finishing Processes
Most aerospace manufacturer relies on a range of finishing processes to complete machined parts. In addition to deburring, most aerospace parts require special coatings. Intrex works with an assortment of special processing companies that can provide NADCAP approved processes. the mechanical properties and protect them against the extreme conditions in which they operate. Some of the more common approved processes are as follows.
- Annealing – This heat-treating process relieves internal stresses, resulting in parts that are less prone to warping.
- Anodizing – Anodizing is an electrolytic process that rapidly develops an oxidation layer that protects parts against corrosion. It also provide a porous surface that can readily accept dyes and paints.
- Heat hardening – Through heating and then rapidly cooling, the exterior of parts can be hardened to increase the wear properties.
- Dry film lubrication – Dry lubricant films, made from molybdenum, boron, and tungsten solutions, allow movable interaction in oxidizing environments and temperatures that would quickly vaporize liquid lubricants. These coatings are commonly used in aerospace fuel systems.
- Electrostatic coating – Also known as power coating, this process results in an even distribution of coating which helps maintain uniform tolerance needed prior to painting.
Intrex Aerospace manages the special processing throughout the entire manufacturing process. . We have a highly experienced management team and system software capable of controlling all aspects of manufacturing. We have approved NADCAP sources we work with on a daily basis. Thanks to our advanced ERP/MRP systems software, we can reliably forecast demand and proactively coordinate with subcontractors to ensure every stage of production is completed on schedule.
