How can ACT's coatings benefit the aerospace industry ❓ Applying PVD coating to mechanical components in jet engines can provide benefits by protecting against fretting With the high hardness and low friction of PVD coatings, aerospace components can have an ideal metal coating 🔵

In the challenging and complex commercial aerospace industry, lightweighting is a key component to achieving fuel efficiency and improved sustainability. For decades, lightweight honeycomb cores made from Nomex® and Kevlar® aramid papers have been go-to solutions for aircraft manufacturers, providing those critical lightweighting benefits. Now there’s a new addition to our DuPont aerospace solution portfolio: Kevlar® N636 1 mil paper. This cutting-edge innovation enables honeycomb core panels that are 20% lighter to help lower an aircraft’s overall carbon footprint. See how a recent project between DuPont and Germany’s Composite Technology Center / CTC GmbH (An Airbus Company) and EURO-COMPOSITES-GROUP, a global aerospace honeycomb manufacturer, put the superior performance of Kevlar® N636 1 mil paper to the test – and how it passed with flying colors.

'Innovation never stops' Richard Giles, Aerospace Global Technical Service Manager at Sherwin-Williams Aerospace Coatings, on the need for continuous innovation. “Our team at Sherwin-Williams worked diligently to keep several ongoing projects on pace for a Q1-2024 release.” "You must know your end user(s) and understand the challenges they face to produce a reliable solution. When we develop a new coating, we consider the technology, production cost, specifications, testing and timing. Furthermore, when you begin the development process, you are typically on a three-year development path, so you need to be spot-on with emerging market trends and developments."

To measure the pitch diameter using an optical comparator, the operator aligns the thread's profile with a grid on a screen. The measurements can be compared against thread standards or specifications to ensure that the threads meet the required tolerances. This is particularly important for quality control in industries where thread accuracy is critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.

All Koenig plugs are tested for 168 hours to ensure elite performance in extreme conditions. First, they are subjected to cyclic temperature. During this test they are taken from -40°C to 150°C at a 2-hour frequency. After passing the cyclic temperature test, the plugs are tested with cyclic pressure. They are subjected to pressures from 0 bar to rated proof pressure at 2 minute frequencies. This rigorous testing is why engineers trust Koenig components for safety critical hole sealing in #aerospace #automotive and #hydraulic applications.
