Commercial Manufacturing Technology in Support of Defense Industry

10/6/2017

 
Picture
We are accustomed to defense technology being transferred into commercial applications, but we do not see technology often going the other direction. In this case, Arconic, a Pittsburgh-based supplier of aluminum, nickel and titanium parts to both commercial and defense industries, has brought about major manufacturing changes based on their successful application in commercial air frames.

In addition to their patented formulas for high-strength alloys, they have the extraordinary ability to manufacture an entire 21-foot-long, 7-foot tall-bulkhead out of a single piece of aluminum or titanium… driving out weight and cost.

Well proven by their earlier work on the Airbus A380 airliner, Arconic’s extraordinary capital investment in a unique 50,000-pound machine and their proprietary metallurgical processes has made them a supplier to both Lockheed’s F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter and the Pratt & Whitney F135 jet engine.
