Flying high for engineering
The Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) is a showcase to display some of the UK’s most advanced manufacturing. Ed Hill hears how the organisers are helping the industry to generate new business.
Machining blisks and impellers rapidly and reliably in a single step saves both time and money. Thanks to the 5-axis Starrag NB 151, which has been specially designed for such machining processes, users from the aviation, aerospace and energy sectors can benefit from these advantages.
Blisks made from titanium, nickel-based superalloys and the Blisks made of blade steels for stationary gas turbines triggered the development of the NB series.
