Airframe & Accessory Parts Restoration
NanoFusion's ability to "cold-weld" fill material on unweldable alloys now makes possible repair and restoration of expensive powertrain, control and structural components that would previously have been scrapped.
Advantages:
- Fills / restores worn or damaged surfaces with same or specified materials
- Repairs machining or casting defects with same material
- True metallurgical bond
- No metallurgical changes in base metal
- Heat affected zones not generated
- Restoration represents large cost savings to Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul organizations (MRO's) and owners.
- Produces like-new or better-than-new parts
Typical Metals / Alloys That Can Be Restored:
- Nickel & cobalt based superalloys
- Hard facing alloys
- Unweldable materials such as aluminum, magnesium and MAR-M-247
- Refractory metals & alloys (W, Mo, Ta, Re, Nb, Hf)
- Noble metals (Au, Ag, Pt, Ir, Pd, Rh)
- Any electrically conductive metal or cermet
Representative Customers:
- Rolls-Royce
- Pratt & Whitney Canada
- Pratt & Whitney Aircraft
- General Electric Aircraft Engines
- Sikorsky
- Able Engineering
- Honeywell
