Manufacturing of a machined part

This mechanically welded cylindrical drum housing, designed for the aerospace industry, demonstrates our expertise in manufacturing high-precision technical components. It combines precision machining and mechanical welding to meet the strict requirements of this sector.

Description of the piece

"The part consists of a main body machined by turning, featuring several functional diameters and flanges. It includes a precision-machined central bore, as well as radial holes intended for assembly or fastening."

A side tube (nozzle) was welded onto the cylindrical surface to allow for the installation of a cable.

Manufacturing process

The manufacturing of this housing involves several steps:

• CNC lathe machining: roughing of outer diameters, facing of end faces, and center boring
• Drilling: Creating a radial hole on a machining center
• Welding: addition of a side spigot with a controlled weld bead
• Post-weld machining on a CNC lathe: correction of any weld-related distortions and assurance of concentricity
• Machining on a machining center: finishing the boss line
• Finishing & inspection: dimensional and surface quality checks in accordance with aerospace requirements
• Surface Treatment & Painting

Requirements of the aviation industry

Each piece must meet strict criteria:

• High dimensional accuracy
• Quality of welded joints
• Operational reliability
• Traceability & Rigorous Quality Control
