Landing gear

Critical landing gear must perform without fault every time the aircraft flies. High quality thermal processing of landing gear contributes to flying safety and safety records. The nature and position of this critical component demands both strength and high resistance to wear and corrosion to fulfil design requirements.

Combinations of thermal processing techniques are used to ensure these characteristics are achieved. Heat treatment is performed to change the properties of the materials, allowing the parts to endure the harsh environment. Thermal spray processes such as HVOF aid corrosion and wear resistance properties.

Landing gear

Typical treated parts include:

  • Trunnion
  • Wheels
  • Nose landing gear
  • Main landing gear
  • Brakes
  • Screw shafts
  • Ball joints
