At STS Aerospace, we pride ourselves on incorporating technology into our inspection methods. Our non-destructive evaluation (NDE) encompasses a variety of applications in which the product is examined and tested to ensure the precise quality parameters of your requirements are achieved. Those applications include:
- Advanced digital borescope technology with the capabilities to inspect critical-weld integrity.
- In-house certified metallurgical testing:
- Weld and braze evaluation and qualification
- Material evaluation, and
- Alpha case for critical titanium evaluation
- Micro evaluation of metallurgical features including grain size, alloying, micro hardness
- Micro hardness and hardness check capability
- Ultrasonic thickness check
- XRF (X-Ray Fluorescent) spectrometers used at all sites to validate material composition and conformance to requirements.
- Laser tube technology that uses customer data to validate bend profile of tubing and optimizes product quality by providing live feedback to equipment.
- Laser scanning substantiation used to capture inspection requirements for complex, multi-surface sheet metals.
- Standard inspection processes such as CMM that we use daily to inspect reverse-engineered fixtures and tooling used to verify assembly accuracy.
