Advanced Repair Capabilities for PT6A Components
ATC combines specialized expertise, advanced equipment, and FAA / EASA approved repair processes to restore essential PT6A hot section components to serviceable condition.
Capabilities
Advanced Repair Capabilities
Our team provides advanced in-house repair services for PT6A non-rotating hot section components using internally developed repair processes, precision CNC equipment, and specialized technical expertise, developed through decades of experience.
Precision Machining
CNC machining capabilities support the restoration of critical dimensions, sealing surfaces, and component geometries across a wide range of PT6A hot-section components. Computer-controlled machining delivers the precision, speed, and consistency required for high-quality, cost-effective aerospace repairs.
Grinding & Surface Restoration
Manual and machine grinding processes support the restoration of critical surfaces, profiles, and component features throughout the repair process. Grinding is used to remove damage, blend repaired areas, prepare surfaces for subsequent operations, and help return components to required dimensional and functional condition.
Thermal Spray Coatings
Plasma and wire spray coatings restore critical surfaces and dimensions on components, helping achieve factory-level finishes as part of approved repair procedures.
TIG & Resistance Welding
Certified welding processes are used to restore damaged components subjected to extreme temperatures and operating conditions. Our in-house capabilities include precision TIG welding as well as spot, seam, and resistance welding, allowing us to perform complex structural repairs which maintain component integrity and functionality.
Non-Destructive Testing
Comprehensive inspection methods help identify cracks, defects, and structural discontinuities without altering the component. Testing is performed throughout the restoration process to verify component condition, support repair decisions, and ensure compliance with industry standards.
Dimensional Inspection
Every repaired component undergoes detailed dimensional verification to ensure conformance with design specifications and repair requirements. Through rigorous inspection and documentation, we confirm repair accuracy, consistency, and readiness for the component’s return to service.
