Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies has been improving the life, strength and performance of critical components in key markets such as Aerospace, Automotive, Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Medical and General Industries for over 70+ years through their network of 65 facilities in 16 countries. Our facilities can treat components of all shapes, sizes and complexity, producing our own tooling and equipment in-house as needed. Our dedicated on site teams can be deployed for fixed or large components anywhere worldwide at short notice
All services
Commercial & Defense Aerospace
Protecting airframe, wing skins and undercarriage from fatigue and stress corrosion cracking (SSC) and aero-engine components from temperature, load, and vibration related effects.
Chemical
Protecting storage tanks, pressure vessels, pumps, valves and welded assemblies from stress corrosion cracking (SCC), fatigue, intergranular corrosion and galling.
Ground Transportation (Automotive, Commercial & Military)
Improved life and performance for suspension, gears and transmission including crankshafts, connecting rods, valves, pistons, cam shafts, cylinder heads and blocks.
Competitive and F1
Improvements in surface stress and finish of transmission and powertrain components can result in an increase in an increase in the fatigue strength of 20-30% resulting in significant life extensions or weight save.
Space
Providing weight saving processes for alloys and materials, dry film lubricants for operating in a vacuum environment and protection of materials from thermal cycling.
Marine/Naval
