Avionics

Electrification Drives Efficiency

Our scalable electrification solutions help drive cost savings across the life-cycle of an aircraft. By using soft magnetic alloys for avionics and motors we enable aircraft designers the advantages of motor size reduction and weight savings, making a leaner, more efficient aircraft. Our full-service support allows materials to be stamped prior to heat treating, allowing processing of complex, proprietary forms.

Generator Systems and Auxiliary Power Units (APUs)

High-performance materials enable the design of smaller, lightweight motors and instrumentation without compromising on performance. Our materials enable the most power-dense, smallest, and lightest generators and APUs.

The success of aerospace electrification depends on higher motor and generator power density. Our high-induction soft magnetic alloys help achieve this goal and reduce battery weight thus increasing aircraft range.

Stator & Rotor Stacks
Stator and Rotor Stacks

Our expertise in specialized materials and stack processing ensures the highest performance stator and rotor stacks. We have a deep understanding of metallurgical structure-magnetic property relationships and expertise in various processing technologies. Our methods for dimensional control, high-strength, and tailored magnetic properties support the most demanding design requirements and production tolerances, resulting in superior motor responses.

Work with Carpenter Technology to improve your product and your process.

Our solutions are stress-tested in the real world. In 2009, US Airways flight 1549 was forced to emergency land on the Hudson River in New York City. Fortunately, the airplane’s auxiliary power unit was made of our high-performance Hiperco® 50, which enabled the pilot to maneuver the plane and all its passengers to safety.
