Aircraft engines - Import export

Major engineering companies who design and manufacture aerospace engines rely on the strength and durability of tubing products made at the Superior Tube mill. This is due to our reputation for producing high quality, high strength, yet lightweight tubing. You’ll find our tubes at work within a variety of systems in aircraft including fuel delivery, fire suppression, drain lines and bleed air systems. Bleed air is high temperature, high pressure air taken from the jet engine and fed into various areas of the plane to be used for things like de-icing and cabin pressurization. We use high performance materials such as Alloy 321 stainless steel and Inconel 625 and 718 for applications that deal with extreme temperatures. Precision tubing for aerospace engines can be ordered in sizes from 0.250” outside diameter right up to 1.5”. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

We deliver precision tubes specially engineered for aerospace engines that perform in the most extreme pressures and temperatures. Trusted by Major Engine OEMs Our aerospace engine tubes are trusted by major OEMs to operate in a variety of critical aircraft engine systems including fuel delivery, fire suppression, thrust reverser, drain lines, and bleed air systems. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Alloy 718 was initially developed for the aerospace industry but its excellent strength and corrosion resistance were recognised by the oil industry and it is now widely used in this field also. Alloy 718 is a nickel-chromium alloy with additions of niobium & molybdenum which can be heat-treated to give high strength, good corrosion resistance, ease of formability and which can be welded with good resistance to strain age cracking. The alloy can be used at temperatures up to 700ºC. Alloy 718 for the oil industry is heat treated such that the hardness does not exceed 40HRC which is the maximum allowed by NACE MR-01-75/ ISO 15156: 3 to prevent stress corrosion cracking. Alloy 718 for aerospace and power generation is heat treated to give maximum strength and high creep resistance with typical hardness values exceeding 42HRC. The major applications are components for gas turbines, aircraft engines Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.
