Honeywell's ongoing investment in state-of-the-art technologies is evident
in our highly specialized techniques for engine component services and repair.
These advanced services optimize your value through :
 | Extended product life |
| Reduced scrapping of expensive components |
| Lower total cost of ownership |
Honeywell is committed to reducing maintenance spend. Our technology repair
roadmap guides our repair development efforts to meet your current and future
repair requirements.
Our engineering expertise enables the ability to develop specific repairs with
Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) reliability for Pratt & Whitney,
Rolls Royce, International Aero Engines, CFM International and General Electric
engine components.
Hand-held Laser Welding Technologies
The continual development of advanced welding, heat treating, thermal sizing
and high-technology brazing restoration processes increase our capability to
deliver innovative repairs. Our new adaptive and hand-held laser welding
technologies and brazing techniques create high-precision repairs that are cost
effective, even for those components with complex part geometries and one-piece
castings.
As a recognized leader in laser welding repair technology, Honeywell's
value-added expertise is demonstrated through our advanced repairs for the
LF507 turbofan regional jet engine. With over 1,000,000 turbine blades repaired
and over 20 million flight hours accumulated, our laser welding repairs have
increased process yields to 95% for a component that would have been declared
non-repairable and scrapped prior to the advent of this new technology.
Honeywell has over 12 patents on our laser technology. Our laser welding
processes include :
| 3-D adaptive laser powder fusion welding |
| Hand-held laser system welding
|
| Laser welding, cutting and drilling
|
Honeywell's hand-held laser technology extends the advantages of laser welding
to new repair applications that were previously non-repairable, impractical or
inaccessible. This technology is ideal for repairs that involve --
| Low distortion
|
| Low heat input
|
| Difficult accessibility
|
| Irregular or random defects |
The laser precise beam delivery of the hand-held laser system minimizes
cracking, distortion and HAZ problems that are commonly experienced with TIG
and other welding systems.
Coating Systems
Honeywell's surface treatments and specialty coatings prevent corrosion and
erosion while improving the high-temperature capability of engine parts and
components. Our new treatment technologies and application processes help
thermal coatings better adhere to parts longer, delivering increased engine
performance.
Our innovative coating processes have many benefits. They are
| Prolong the life of parts and components |
| Protect parts and components from oxidation, corrosion, erosion by
particulate debris |
| Provide optimal thermal protection |
We offer multiple treatment processes for coating restoration:
| High velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) |
| Air plasma spray
|
| Wire arc plasma spray |
| Thermal spray |
| Aluminide vapor coating
|
| Aluminide pak coatings
|
| Aluminide slurry coatings |
| Platinum aluminide coatings
|
| Electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD) ceramic coatings |
We continually work to create new treatment technologies and application
processes that help coatings to better adhere to parts longer, allowing for
increased component life, engine performance and reductions in life cycle
costs.
Our facilities are ISO 9001 certified and FAA/JAA approved for engine component
and accessory inspection, overhaul and testing.
