Induction heating for aerospace manufacturing
Aerospace manufacturing demands precision, repeatability and reliability that few processes can match — induction heating delivers all three, with heat applied exactly where it’s needed and no open flame near sensitive materials or assemblies. ENRX supplies induction heating solutions to both military and commercial aerospace manufacturers and their tier-one suppliers.
Why induction heating for aerospace manufacturing
- Delivers localised, precisely controlled heat without distorting surrounding structure — critical for thin-walled and composite components
- Fully repeatable heating cycles, essential for flight-critical parts that must meet exacting tolerances
- Contactless and flame-free, reducing risk when working near fuel systems, composites and sensitive assemblies
- Scales from standalone tools to fully automated, robot-compatible production lines
Turbine components
- Brazing of turbine blade tips and shrouds
- Shrink-fitting of turbine parts
- Heat treatment of turbine components, including maintenance work — pre-heating, heat treatment and shrink-fitting during overhaul
- Brazing of fuel lines, oil lines, high-pressure tubes and sensors
Landing gear
- Hardening of landing gear components — axles, pins and bushings
Structural and airframe
- Carbon fibre composite bonding
- Pre-heating prior to welding of structural and turbine components
- Localised heating for bonding and clean assembly
Systems and assemblies
- Brazing of hydraulic systems
- Brazing and soldering of connectors and sensor housings
- Shrink-fitting of bearings, housings and actuators for aerospace assemblies
