Innovative metalworking fluids for aerospace machining
Quality precision machining of aerospace components requires high performance specialist coolants. At FUCHS, we understand the unique challenges of aerospace machining and dedicate our expertise to ensuring our cutting fluids deliver competitive advantage to your production.
We research, develop and manufacture bespoke machining fluids – technology that is approved for use by leading manufacturers and available globally via the FUCHS organisation.
Premium quality water miscible coolant solutions are just part of the FUCHS portfolio. FUCHS offers customers a full line supply service for all coolant and lubricant demands. Included within our metalworking fluid portfolio are innovative solutions to meet the highly sophisticated demands of the aerospace industry, designed with the expertise of our aerospace group and approved by leading manufacturers.
Our lubricant solutions to the specific requirements of aerospace manufacturing
Structures
Materials used in the manufacture of ribs, stringers, spars and bulkheads are becoming more exotic. Utilised for their strength to weight ratio, these materials create unique demands on the cutting fluids, which FUCHS’ technology addresses head on.
FUCHS is able to offer specialist cutting fluid solutions providing optimum efficiency, from the initial bulk metal removal through to the high speed machining of thin wall components.
Engines
Aerospace engine machining requires unsurpassed accuracy, precision and quality. Through many years of partnership with leading global engine producers, we are able to supply innovative coolant solutions for all key components and substrates in the modern jet engine.
Turbine blade grinding, blisk milling and super-finishing are just some of the applications for which FUCHS can provide specialist coolant technology.
Landing gear
Modern landing gear uses high strength sophisticated materials (such as Titan 5-5-5-3 ) in its manufacture. These are increasingly difficult to machine and create unique demands on the coolant.
Only by working with OEM manufacturers, machine tool builders and tooling suppliers is FUCHS able to understand the full parameters of the operation and to develop build coolants capable of matching the production demands of the customer.
