Aerospace Market Continues Testing New Landing Gear Application Using CUSTOM 465® Stainless Steel
September 05 2012 - 4:30PM
Business Wire
Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) is participating in
a multi-year program to qualify CUSTOM 465® stainless steel for
landing gear components where ultra-high strength steel is used.
This program has recently passed a key development milestone that
will lead to the production of prototypes which are expected to
undergo flight testing sometime in 2014. Joining Carpenter in this
development program are Airbus, Messier-Bugatti-Dowty, and The
Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC) of the University of
Sheffield.
The program is supported by the Technology Strategy Board (TSB)
of the British Government.
The development of a stainless steel landing gear solution
eliminates the need for cadmium plating and the environmental
issues associated with the plating process. Overall production
costs would be reduced, time between service intervals would be
increased, and the service life of the landing gear would be
extended with the use of CUSTOM 465® stainless steel.
