CNC machining delivers micron precision and tight tolerances for complex geometry.
Optimized for mass production, high-volume machining utilizes advanced automation and process control to ensure consistent quality, tight tolerances, and superior cost efficiency at scale.
Designed for precision-driven applications, low-volume machining supports prototype development and limited production runs with high accuracy, rapid iteration, and reduced tooling requirements.
To ensure accuracy, these components are manufactured using precision 5-axis CNC machining combined with closed-loop dimensional control. This approach guarantees tight tolerances, optimal balance, and long-term reliability under high-speed operating conditions.
Compressor stages are subjected to repetitive thermal transients ranging from ambient to elevated operational temperatures near 900°C, particularly in multi-stage axial designs adjacent to combustor zones. Materials are selected based on their phase stability, oxidation resistance, and γ′ precipitate strengthening mechanisms. Nickel-based superalloys such as Inconel 713C, MAR-M247, and René-series alloys are deployed, often with controlled solidification and directional grain structures. Heat treatment cycles are defined to optimize creep resistance, thermal fatigue life, and phase homogeneity under sustained thermomechanical loads.
Compressor blade aerodynamics depend on maintaining boundary layer stability, minimizing flow separation, and reducing profile drag. Sub-optimal surface finishes, tooling marks, or micro-cracks induce turbulent flow, decreasing stage pressure ratio and isentropic efficiency. Surface treatments involve abrasive flow machining and micro-polishing to achieve surface roughness values below 0.2 µm Ra across both suction and pressure sides of the blade. Critical flow paths are evaluated using CFD-driven feedback loops to ensure compliance with designed Mach number distributions and incidence angle constraints.

Used in afterburning turbojets for high-thrust propulsion under supersonic conditions with high-cycle fatigue and thermal stress tolerance.
Supports bypass air compression in high-bypass-ratio engines for improved thrust-specific fuel consumption in civil aviation propulsion systems.
Integrated in compact gas turbines for tactical UAVs requiring high power density with weight-optimized rotating components.
Installed in onboard gas turbine APUs to compress air for power generation and aircraft system startup functions.
Used in experimental engines for supersonic combustion and intake air compression across transonic and supersonic test flight regimes.
Employed in microturbines or aero-derivative turbines for compressing intake air in stationary power generation under continuous duty cycles.
Compressor wheels must operate without initiating crack propagation under Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) and High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) conditions. Sub-surface voids, inclusions, or dendritic segregation present in cast or forged blanks serve as initiation points for crack nucleation. Each component undergoes non-destructive testing including ultrasonic phased-array inspection, dye penetrant analysis, and radiographic evaluation.
Compressor wheels must conform precisely to application-specific aerodynamic and mechanical constraints, such as blade tip clearance, chord-to-span ratio, and hub-to-tip height gradient. Reverse-engineering workflows using 3D scanning and parametric modeling enable replication of legacy or foreign designs with full geometric and material traceability.

Frigate performs precision 5-axis machining followed by rotor-specific dynamic balancing using dual-plane correction techniques. Residual imbalance is reduced to below ISO G1.0 grade for aerospace-class rotors. Every wheel undergoes balance verification at simulated operational RPM. This ensures minimal vibration and extended bearing life in rotating assemblies.
Frigate sources aerospace-grade alloys with full traceability conforming to AMS, ASTM, and customer-specific standards. Each material batch includes mill test reports, ultrasonic inspection results, and chemical composition validation. Heat treatment cycles are documented with furnace charts and hardness verification. Certifications are archived digitally and available on request for audit compliance.
Frigate uses low-force cutting strategies with optimized toolpaths and adaptive feed control to avoid thermal distortion in blade sections. Fixturing systems are custom-designed to support trailing edges and suction surfaces during finishing. Real-time dimensional feedback is used to adjust tool paths dynamically. This ensures high geometric fidelity even on complex compressor blade profiles.
Yes, Frigate supports forged billet machining for applications requiring enhanced fatigue strength and directional grain flow. Closed-die forged blanks are pre-machined and then finished using high-precision CNC processes. Mechanical properties are validated through tensile, impact, and microstructure analysis. Forged wheels are typically used in high-load, high-reliability military and UAV engine programs.
Frigate applies multi-stage inspection including CMM-based dimensional checks, surface profilometry, and non-destructive testing (UT, DPI). All critical airfoil and bore dimensions are validated against CAD using automated probing systems. Surface roughness is measured across suction and pressure faces using contact and optical methods. Final inspection data is compiled into PPAP or FAIR formats as per aerospace requirements.
