High-temperature alloys like Inconel 625 and titanium Grade 5 are used for their excellent creep resistance and phase stability under prolonged heat exposure. Mechanical joints are engineered with built-in expansion allowances, enabling axial duct movement without overstressing the bracket or anchor locations.
Aircraft engine bleed air systems experience multi-axis vibration, originating from both rotor imbalance and airframe structural dynamics. Bracket configurations are validated through modal analysis to ensure their natural frequencies lie outside critical excitation zones, typically between 20 Hz and 2 kHz. Fatigue design curves are derived from high-cycle testing of weldments, bolted interfaces, and bushings. Use of elastomeric isolators or flexural compliance features is governed by required vibration attenuation and load path stability. Design reviews incorporate FEA-based dynamic simulations to model stress ranges and predict crack initiation sites, mitigating unplanned maintenance arising from fatigue-driven failures.
Bleed air duct support brackets are required to transfer complex loads including axial duct tension, bending moments, and torsional forces, especially at interface zones where ducts pass through frames, pylons, or pressure bulkheads. Load paths are optimized by aligning bracket arms with principal stress vectors and by minimizing eccentricity between the duct centerline and support axis. Structural attachments to airframe members are configured to avoid stress risers using radius-controlled transitions and compliant backing plates. Each bleed air duct support brackets design is validated to meet or exceed allowable loads with a safety margin consistent with CS-25 or FAR Part 25 structural requirements.

Provides structural mounting for high-temperature ducts transferring engine bleed air to anti-ice or cabin pressurization systems in nacelle zones.
Secures bleed air ducts along wing leading edges, ensuring positional stability under thermal expansion and aerodynamic load fluctuations.
Maintains duct alignment from engine sources to ECS heat exchangers, supporting dynamic airframe conditions and variable pressure loads.
Anchors bleed air ducts to fuselage frames while allowing axial movement, preventing misalignment from differential expansion or airframe flexure.
Transfers duct loads across engine pylon junctions, maintaining structural continuity while isolating vibration from turbomachinery-induced oscillations.
Supports high-temperature ducting from APU to ECS in tail sections, accommodating thermal cycling and constrained installation geometries.
Minimizing support bracket mass is critical for compliance with aircraft weight budgets and to reduce vibrational amplification. Topology optimization software is used during design phase to reduce non-load-bearing material while preserving required section modulus and out-of-plane stiffness. Bracket geometries are machined or investment cast depending on batch volume and complexity, using high-strength alloys with specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio) exceeding 250 kN·m/kg.
Bleed air duct support brackets mounted in proximity to dissimilar metals or exposed to condensation cycles must be protected against galvanic corrosion and pitting. Surface treatments such as cadmium plating, titanium anodizing, or inorganic zinc-rich primers are selected based on mating surface potential and environmental class (wet/dry zones, pressurized/unpressurized).

Frigate uses 5-axis CNC machining and CMM inspection for precise control of complex geometries and critical interface points. Each bracket undergoes fixture-based verification to ensure tolerance stack-up aligns with installation requirements. Statistical Process Control (SPC) is applied to monitor high-variation features such as mounting hole pitch and bracket angle. This ensures consistency across batches, especially for serialized aerospace assemblies.
Frigate conducts high-cycle and low-cycle fatigue testing on both finished brackets and welded subassemblies using representative flight loading profiles. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is correlated with test data to predict crack initiation zones. Strain gauges are placed at critical locations during fatigue testing to monitor localized stress. This approach supports airworthiness documentation and compliance with OEM durability standards.
Frigate selects alloys with high resistance to intergranular corrosion and SCC, such as Inconel 625 or titanium Grade 2. All components are processed with controlled heat treatment to avoid sensitization. Protective coatings like PTFE, anodizing, or plasma spray are applied based on the environment classification. Corrosion resistance is validated through salt fog and humidity chamber testing per ASTM B117.
Yes, Frigate reverse-engineers existing brackets using 3D scanning and matches them with updated material and geometric specs. Compatibility with legacy systems is ensured through interface validation against original OEM standards. For new platforms, custom brackets are co-developed using FEM and CAD-to-CAM integration. Documentation includes full traceability and installation guides aligned with platform-specific service bulletins.
