If you work in the aerospace industry, it is critical to use the correct types of aerospace drills for your project. The Aerospace Industries Association is responsible for creating and maintaining part standards for aerospace parts and components within the AIA’s National Aerospace Standards (NAS) library. When using drill bits, you may come across descriptions […]

Thousands of flights take off daily, and when they do, passenger and crew safety is paramount. When it comes to aviation engineering, the building blocks of these aircraft must be highly regulated and meet stringent quality standards without fail. After all, it only takes one incident or event to damage lives and cause commercial damage.  […]

Electrical equipment is frequently used in our everyday lives, from smartphones to tablets (occasionally, old-fashioned radio!). However, EMI (electromagnetic interference) or RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding also plays a big role in automotive, medical, telecommunications, and aviation, and this market continues to expand.  According to this market report, the global EMI shielding market is estimated […]

Navy military ships are constantly exposed to water in the marine industry, and marine-grade metals are excellent for underwater or damp environments. In these environments, marine bonded fasteners actively fight against corrosion, mechanical failure, water force, and abrasion. In comparison to traditional fasteners, marine-bonded fasteners are reliable and durable ,   components that improve vessel […]

According to a recent market report, the global automotive fasteners market size is projected to grow from $24.08 billion in 2024 to $37.11 billion by 2023. Whether you’re working on an aircraft or a naval ship, you must know what fasteners will work best with each project. While permanent fasteners (such as weld nuts and […]

Do you have an important engineering task that requires the use of track-locking systems? With Quick-Change Track Lock Systems, you can experience an efficient track fastener that is easily handled without tooling.  Designed to meet the MS33601 or AS33601 standards, these are widely used in the transportation and railways industry to ensure compliance between track […]

In recent months, the electrical faults of Boeing aircrafts have well and truly underscored the need for effective aviation repairs, maintenance, inspections, and quality control. As we have seen, electrical and engine failures can and do occur in the aviation industry, which is why it’s so important to understand the tools and techniques that allow […]

Radar Absorption Materials or ‘RAMs’ are incredibly important to defence and security departments across the world. These materials are utilised for a wide variety of military and civilian applications, such as reducing the radar signature for aircraft, ships, tanks, and other mobile objects, EM interference shielding, human exposure mitigation, or reducing reflected radiation from microstrip […]

Metal ceramic foam is the backbone of many different manufacturing processes. In fact, foams, sponges, and porous materials with macroscopic pores are critical to various industries and are even used in the construction of aircraft and spaceships! Why are metal ceramic foams in such high demand? Lightweight cellular materials have always been an important element […]
