Aircraft and aerospace

The aircraft and aerospace industry requires alloys to provide corrosion, wear, and impact resistance as well as high-strength characteristics.

At Wieland Concast, our unparalleled experience, service, and quality are at the foundation of our success in meeting the demand for alloys utilized in various aerospace and aircraft-related applications. These include bushings and bearings utilized in landing gear along with other industry-specific applications. Wieland Concast is also certified to AS9100 standards and requirements for the aerospace industry. [AS9100 certificate can be viewed here].

Wieland Concast is the exclusive North American distributor of Hardiall® (C72900) produced by Lebronze alloys. Hardiall is an extruded, spinodal hardened copper nickel-tin (CuNiSn) bronze alloy designed for high-strength applications where toughness is required. It resists mechanical wear, galling, stress relaxation, corrosion and erosion, matching the stringent needs of the aircraft and aerospace industries. It is non-magnetic and easy to machine into complex components. In addition, it is environmentally friendly, being lead and beryllium free, thus making it a beryllium copper substitute alloy.
