Landing gear

Critical landing gear must perform without fault every time the aircraft flies. The safety of the crew and the passengers depend on it. The nature and position of this critical component requires strength as well as wear and corrosion resistance to fulfill design requirements.

A combination of thermal processing techniques is used to ensure the materials’ desired characteristics are achieved. Heat treatment is performed to change the properties of the materials allowing the parts to endure their harsh punishment. Environmentally friendly thermal spray processes such as HVOF have superseded traditional coating methods to aid corrosion and wear resistance properties.

Process solutions for this component include:

• Thermally Sprayed Coatings
• Heat Treatment
• Metal Joining
• HIP Product Fabrication
• S³P
