Engineered Metals for Demanding Flight Environments
When a commercial airliner cruises at 35,000 feet, the external temperature drops to a bone-chilling -65°F (-54°C). Meanwhile, inside the jet engines powering that same aircraft, temperatures can soar past 2,700°F (1,500°C)—hot enough to melt ordinary steel. Between these thermal extremes lies a complex web of physical stresses, vibrations, and corrosive elements. For an aircraft…
