Quality Precision Engineering for the Aerospace Industry

Developing springs for advanced technology is a challenge in itself but one made even more critical by the introduction of the aerospace industry being bought into the equation.

Developing and manufacturing precision aerospace springs requires the precision quality and efficiency in producing quality products that will stand the test of time for the specialist job they have been designed for. One of the important areas is the production of quality and precision springs for the aerospace industry and leading the way in design and production of such items is the UK based company G&O Springs who have been market leaders in spring technology for over 30 years.

Applying attention to detail in the development of quality springs is something G&O have sustained with an industry reputation for producing precision springs and they are always striving to achieve standards within their own industry with their absolute it is to develop car components to a very high standard let alone the importance of developing quality springs to help keep planes in the air and people safe from harm.

G&O design, develop and manufacture a complete spectrum of precision springs from Titanium springs through to stainless steel precision springs.

Steel is still a cost effective option and although, when prepared correctly does raise more questions when it comes to the type of job it will be required to do. If the job you are looking to accomplish involves less essential performance then stainless steel is suitable product to use. AMS5678 (17/7PH) / ASTM A313 Type 631 is a very common material for most of the ‘new’ springs seen in the industry. AMS5678 is a hard-enable stainless steel which performs nearly as well, when treated and prepared correctly of course with some high carbon steels, certainly in terms of its performance qualities but also very much has the identity of being a stainless too.

We can also talk about BS 2S205 which is another widely used aerospace stainless steel grade very popular with many manufacturers. S205, which is a more commonly known name for it is a standard 18/8 stainless and although it doesn't have the matching strength or fatigue ability as a 17/7 ph Steel it is by far cheaper to obtain and work with during the initial process. If your job doesn't demand a very high standard of performance S205 would be an adequate material to request from your spring manufacture.

Finding the right material for your specific project is of course essential in any situation and one where you can rely on the expert to point you in the right direction. G&O Springs, with over 30yrs experience are exactly that, experts you can rely on to advise you on your specific requirement when conducting a precision project.
