AM (Additive Manufacturing Process)
Additive manufacturing is a rapidly growing industry, the technology has grown from a rapid prototyping solution into mainstream production of high complexity components. Multiple parts that once needed to be designed for manufacture and fitted together to form a complex assembly can often be replaced by a single AM produced component with none of the same design constraints. These new generation methods often lead to savings in weight, efficiency and lead time.

Controlled Shot Peening
How shot peening works
Component failure is often related to residual tensile stress induced during manufacture and certain operating conditions. The controlled shot peening process is a cost effective and practical method of replacing tensile stress with beneficial compressive stress which is proven to prevent failures due to:
- Metal fatigue
- Corrosion fatigue
- Stress corrosion cracking
- Intergranular corrosion
- Fretting
- Galling
- Spalling
- Wear

Peentex Surface Texturing & Architectural Finishes
Peentex is a decorative textured finish applied by controlled shot peening which can be used on metal, glass, wood and acrylic.
Controlled shot peening has long been associated with engineered surface finishing of metals including steels, stainless steels, aluminium, titanium and copper alloys. It forms an essential part of the manufacturing process used within the engineering industry to improve wear and corrosion resistance and prevent premature fatigue failures.

Thermal Plasma & HVOF Spray Coatings
Used in the aerospace, automotive, power generation and oil and gas industries, Curtiss-Wright’s thermal spray coating services include HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel), plasma, flame and arc spray coatings which produce a cost effective and high performing finish that protects components from heat, wear, corrosion, fatigue and oxidation. HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) Coatings are a viable alternative for hard chrome plating.
Damaged and worn parts such as gas and steam turbines can be repaired to original specification.
