One of the company's key products was the jet-engine disc, a spinning part in the core of a jet engine.
Fatigue crack growth rates have been studied in forged Ti 6Al 4V aero-engine disc material under the conjoint action of LCF and HCF cycles at room temperature.
Not far from the state capital of Richmond, the site this month was Rolls-Royce North America's Crosspointe plant, which makes precision-engineered discs for jet engines.
WHAT'S NEW -- The 2006 SRT8 ($37,995), developed by DaimlerChryler's high-performance Street and Racing Technology group, has a 6.1-liter 425-horsepower Hemi engine, Brembo disc brakes and 20-inch aluminum wheels.
Compared with American, British and European machines of the era, he said, the Japanese models were more reliable, required less maintenance and excelled in technology, with features like overhead-cam engines and disc brakes.
This paper investigates the mechanisms of facet nucleation through combining aero-engine manufacturer disc component test data with microstructure-sensitive crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) models.
Titanium alloy aero-engine turbine discs are subjected to stringent quality requirements pertaining to dimensional tolerances and mechanical properties.
Two non-destructive inspection (NDI) methods have been used to determine the damage tolerance life prediction of aero-engine turbine discs.
The X 1/9 was one of the first inexpensive midengine sports cars, and the 124 Spider had an alloy twin-cam engine, four-wheel disc brakes, a 5-speed transmission and one of the best convertible tops ever.
