Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best material for high-temperature turbine components?
Nickel-based superalloys like Inconel® 718 are the industry standard. They are specifically designed to retain exceptional strength and creep resistance at the extreme operating temperatures found inside gas turbines and jet engines.
Why is 5-axis machining essential for turbine blades?
Turbine blades have complex “airfoil” surfaces with constantly changing curves in multiple directions. 5-axis machining is the only practical way to create these aerodynamic profiles accurately and efficiently from a solid block of material.
What is Nondestructive Testing (NDT) and why is it critical?
NDT is a group of analysis techniques (like ultrasonic or magnetic particle) used to evaluate the properties of a component for defects without causing damage. In the energy sector, it is critical for ensuring that mission-critical parts have no hidden internal flaws that could lead to catastrophic failure.
How do you machine difficult materials like Inconel?
Machining superalloys is challenging as they rapidly work-harden and generate extreme heat. We overcome this with specialized carbide tooling, rigid machine setups, optimized low-speed/high-torque toolpaths, and high-pressure coolant systems.
Can you hold the tolerances required for high-speed generator shafts?
Yes. We use a combination of precision turning, finish grinding, and dynamic balancing to meet the strict requirements for straightness, roundness, and balance necessary for high-RPM rotating equipment.
Do you provide full material traceability for your components?
Absolutely. Full traceability from the original mill to the final component is standard procedure for us. We provide Mill Test Reports (MTRs) and certificates of conformance for all energy sector projects.
What are thermal barrier coatings (TBCs)?
TBCs are advanced ceramic coatings applied to metallic surfaces, such as on turbine blades. They act as thermal insulation, protecting the underlying superalloy from extreme temperatures and thereby extending the component’s life and performance.
Can you manufacture components for the nuclear power industry?
Yes. While we do not hold an “N-stamp”, we can manufacture components to nuclear industry specifications, which requires the highest levels of process control, documentation, material traceability, and quality assurance.
What are "downhole tools" for the oil & gas industry?
These are sophisticated electronic and mechanical instruments used deep inside a wellbore for drilling and evaluation (e.g., MWD/LWD systems). We machine the high-strength, pressure-resistant housings and internal components that protect the sensitive electronics from the extreme heat and pressure thousands of feet underground.
How do you guarantee the quality of a part that is several meters long?
We use large-format Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), laser trackers, and robust in-process controls to ensure dimensional accuracy is maintained over the entire length of the component. For very long shafts, we also perform detailed straightness checks.
