First set up back in 1929, the company who are a subsidiary of the Curtiss Wright Corporation specialises in providing surface treatments with the aim of enhancing the performance of critical materials and components. These treatments can be used in preventing premature failures and increasing the life of a huge range of components used in anything from a jet engine to a wind turbine.
Used in a range of industries the world over, Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies can provide material surface treatments, protective coatings, high tech processes and much more. One of the biggest concerns for manufacturers, designers and buyers of critical components is premature failure as a result of fatigue, corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, fretting, friction, galling and environmental and thermal stresses.
As a subsidiary’s of Curtiss-Wright, Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies has a rich and long history behind them. With a global network of over 70 operating divisions, they are able to supply their exemplary services to OEM’s in a wide range of major industries, such as aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, subsea, medical, power generation and more.
Their innovative surface treatment solutions encompass Controlled Shot and Laser Shock Peening, Engineered coatings, Thermal Spray Coatings and Parylene Coatings for silicone, plastics and electronic components. They ensure that by working closely with customers from the design stage through to manufacturing they can provide a One Stop Solution for material treatments. These can be applied to new manufactured parts and also repair and overhaul including site work.
There are a number of factors that can cause premature failure and poor performance of metals and materials which is why the services and processes Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies provide are vital in the life extension of critical components. Machining, heating, forging bending and rolling of metals can induce unwanted stresses and associated problems which can be eliminated by some of the services Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies offer.
Component repair is just one of Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies’ many specialities. Their diffusion and sacrificial coatings can be applied to a wide array of components, including compressor blades, vane tips, turbine blades, intake snouts and more.
Throughout 2016, Curtiss Wright Surface Technologies expanded into the steam gas turbine repair and overhaul industries. They also successfully acquired Component Coating and Repair Services (CCRS) and expanded their portfolio to include yet many more processes.
