Aerospace – Hinge

Hinge

The internal structure of an aircraft is composed of many beams and various structural elements. Hinges and brackets are used to support these structures at various parts and places of the airframe, making them components that bear high loads. In order to ensure performance that can withstand the loads generated during flight, the construction of an optimal machining process to meet the high quality demands is considered crucial. Tungaloy is committed to offering comprehensive machining solutions that respond to the high quality demands of aircraft structural components, while also enhancing production efficiency.
