materials used

Materials Expertise for Commercial Aircraft

All high-strength heat-resistant materials used for propulsion systems, engine components, Landing gears and other Aircraft systems. Hera provides a turnkey solution for CNC programming, machine fixturing and complex 5-axis machining of light hardware.

Metallics

All heat-treated

4000 series alloys used within many of the high-strength aircraft system actuators, fittings, valve bodies and flight systems. Hera understands the reaction materials experience when machining heat-treated materials. Our engineering takes into account feeds, speed, cutter wear and machine approach to control our customers’ extremely tight tolerance requirements.

Titanium

Is used where extreme temperatures are abundant in aircraft and high strength is part of the requirements performance. Hera has seasoned machine operators who understand the nuances of machining complex titanium flight hardware with fixturing and machine processes used to minimize part distortion.

Stainless Steel

Is used in areas where corrosive properties are a risk to the Aircraft such as fittings, vectoring systems and other Aircraft components. Hera specializes in tool use and cutter wear to efficiently machine stainless steel while minimizing part distortion commonly found with this material.

Aluminum

Is a primary lightweight material used for Aircraft structures, outer skins and inner working components. Complex machined geometry is no challenge for our multiple 5-axis machines, lathes and high-speed mills used to produce the most complex flight parts.

Aluminum Honeycomb Core

Used for structural lightweight filler between outer and inner surfaces of system mounts and structural frames. Hera has the high-speed machining solution for all honeycomb core design configurations. Hera offers the latest in core cutting using 5-axis routing, 5-axis milling, 5-axis Ultrasonic knife cutting and laser cutting.
