TWI has provided services to the worldwide aerospace industry for many years. We offer novel solutions in joining technology for the broadest range of aerospace materials. Our strategy is to add value to clients by working with them to reduce their costs or add functionality to their product or service.
We have provided linear friction welded blisks, friction stir welded rocket fuel tanks and welded thermoplastic airframe structures. As well as supporting developments in joining technology, we can now assist with materials development, coatings technology, process modelling, life modelling, microfabrication and the performance and reliability of aircraft structures.
Today's work supports the main airframe, engine and main component manufacturers. Tomorrow's work will extend this to rotorcraft and a greater range of supplier companies, particularly the growing sensor market.
