Aerospace Materials NDT Inspections and Machining
Since 1977, the engineers at Victor Aviation Services and our affiliate scientists and physicists, have studied components closely for pre-existing defects and evaluate specific properties for compliance with specifications and contributions to the causes (or potential cause) of failure. We have photographed and analyzed microstructures and corrosion features, as well as determined the operating and residual stresses and compared them to the material’s strength.
We have looked at everything from aircraft engine power plants, giant wind turbine transmissions to consumer products and medical devices, using the latest in physical testing and analytical techniques in our labs. Our experimental testing and analytical modeling specialists collaborate on the analysis of complex technical problems. This integrated effort encourages a constant cross-fertilization of productive ideas, provides a unique insight into our clients' concerns, and differentiates us from other consultants. This comprehensive approach enables us to offer high-quality, cost-effective service for new engine designs and materials manufacturers.
