Aerospace Ovens

Ensuring Peak Performance

INTEK’s Custom Aerospace Ovens

The aerospace industry demands precision and reliability at every stage of manufacturing. INTEK Corporation understands these critical requirements and delivers custom-designed industrial ovens to meet the unique needs of aerospace manufacturers. Our ovens provide efficient and controlled curing of coatings on various aircraft parts, ensuring exceptional performance and longevity.

Key Processes Supported by Intek Ovens

INTEK’s aerospace ovens integrate seamlessly into various stages of your manufacturing workflow. Here are some examples:

Coating Application

After a primer or other coating is applied to an aircraft component, it needs to be cured at a specific temperature and time to ensure proper adhesion and performance. Intek ovens provide precise control over this critical curing process.

Preheating for Forming

Certain forming processes require aircraft parts to be preheated to a specific temperature to achieve optimal formability. Intek ovens deliver uniform and controlled preheating to ensure successful forming without damaging the material.

De-embrittlement

Some aerospace materials become brittle during processing. INTEK ovens can be used for de-embrittlement treatments, which involve heating the material to a specific temperature for a controlled period to restore its ductility.

Heat Treating

Heat treating involves controlled heating and cooling cycles to alter the mechanical properties of a material. Intek ovens can be designed to accommodate various heat treating processes used in aerospace manufacturing.
