Stainless Steel Investment Casting and Its Aerospace Applications
August 21st, 2023
Stainless steel is preferred for many aircraft engine, structural, fuel and hydraulic system applications. Providing a combination of strength and corrosion-resistance, it supports weight reduction goals and facilitates factors of safety of 1.5. Part mass is minimized by investment casting.
Understanding the Design and Engineering of Gas Turbine Nozzle Assemblies
August 18th, 2023
Gas turbine nozzle components are some of the most highly engineered parts manufactured anywhere. They need to survive high temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, vibration and centrifugal forces, and the challenges are growing as gas turbine manufacturers push for higher temperatures and
Electron Beam Welding and its Applications
August 16th, 2023
The heat of welding distorts workpiece materials and alters their properties. Electron beam welding (EBW) minimizes these adverse impacts and provides a way of joining otherwise unwieldable materials and parts. Impro Aerotek has EBW welding capabilities, which complement our other
Maintenance Tips for Hydraulic Orbital Motors
July 25th, 2023
Hydraulic orbital motors provide high torque from a compact package. They are ideal for mobile and industrial applications where electric motors would be too big, bulky, expensive or otherwise impractical. Agricultural, forestry and construction machinery are examples of mobile uses
What Smart Manufacturing Means at Impro
July 18th, 2023
Some manufacturing experts are calling it the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Others use terms like “The Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT) or “smart manufacturing”. Whatever label you put on it, it’s clear the technologies used in manufacturing are advancing rapidly. As
Introduction to Investment Casting Accuracy Grades
July 13th, 2023
One of the reasons for having parts made by investment casting is that the process is capable of maintaining tight tolerances. This minimizes secondary machining and enables reproduction of fine. What’s left unasked though is, what tolerances can investment casting
Tips for Optimizing Swiss Screw Machining Efficiency
June 29th, 2023
Swiss screw CNC lathes are highly productive machines, but running them at less than maximum efficiency can mean a significant loss of output. This blog explains the kind of precision machining work they are best suited to and how to
An Introduction to Sand Casting Exhaust Manifolds
June 27th, 2023
Exposed to hot, fast moving and corrosive gasses, exhaust manifolds need an uncommon set of qualities if they are to survive and contribute to efficient combustion. Impro successfully sand casts these parts in a specialized metal and by paying close
