CURTISS-WRIGHT SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES INSTALLS AN IN-HOUSE VACUUM BRAZING, SINTERING AND HEAT TREATMENT AT ALFRETON DERBYSHIRE UK.
1 July 2020
Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies is pleased to announce the addition of in-house Vacuum Brazing, Sintering and Heat treatment within our Component Coating and Repair facility based in Alfreton Derbyshire UK.
– The new Vacuum Furnace has a working area of 600mm x 450mmx 900mm and is fitted with a sealed cooling system meeting the latest environmental legislation.
– The vacuum brazing process uses a filler alloy which is pre-placed on the component in a location that as the furnace temperature is raised and the filler metal alloy melts, it flows into the assembly capillary joints and affects a strong bond.
– The Vacuum Furnace also brings Sintering and Heat Treatment capabilities to Curtiss-Wright Surface Technologies for components such as:
- Stators
- Nozzles
- Honey Comb Seals
- Rings
- Blades
