Emerging Trends in the Aerospace Industry: New Materials and Sustainability
The aerospace industry is experiencing significant changes driven by new materials and a commitment to sustainability. These changes are highlighted by advanced composites and superalloys transforming aircraft design thanks to their exceptional strength and ability to handle heat. These innovative materials make aircrafts more fuel-efficient and improve overall performance.
Fluids play a crucial role in working with these new materials. For example, when manufacturing with advanced composites, the fluids must provide effective lubrication and cooling without damaging the material. For superalloys, the fluids need to handle high temperatures and prevent corrosion. Choosing the proper process fluids is essential to make the most of these advanced materials and maintain their unique benefits.
A green supply chain is another future trend in aerospace sustainability, emphasizing sustainable sourcing and logistics practices. As the industry moves towards environmentally friendly practices, the type of process fluids used is also changing. There’s a growing need for fluids that are both effective and environmentally sustainable. This includes biodegradable options, produces fewer emissions, and can be recycled easily. Selecting the right process fluids is critical in harnessing the advantages of new aerospace materials and meeting the industry’s sustainability goals.

The Role of Process Fluids in the Aerospace Industry
The aerospace industry is one where precision, reliability, and safety are not just desired but absolute necessities. This sector demands high accuracy and durability, given that the products manufactured – aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles – operate in some of the most extreme and unforgiving environments imaginable. The choice and application of process fluids become critical to the success and safety of the manufacturing process. During the manufacturing process, fluids are involved in a variety of essential tasks:
- Coolants & Lubricants: Essential for controlling temperature and lubricating the tool/part interface in machining and metalworking processes, lubricants and coolants help maintain the integrity of the metal being worked on. This cooling effect ensures that components retain their precise dimensions and tolerances, vital for aerospace parts where even the slightest deviation can lead to failure. The S-500 CF series from Hangsterfer’s exemplifies this, renowned for its advanced cooling properties and lubrication while minimizing environmental impact.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Corrosion inhibitors protect aerospace components from environmental damage and corrosion, particularly during storage and transportation. Hangsterfer’s products in this category offer robust protection, enhancing the longevity and reliability of aerospace components in various applications.
Each product from Hangsterfer’s, available through Impact Fluids, is designed with the unique challenges of aerospace manufacturing in mind, ensuring that every fluid meets and exceeds industry standards for quality, performance, and environmental compliance.
