Materials for Hinge Blocks

Each selected material provides a balance of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and fatigue performance ideal for aerospace hinges.

Aluminum 7050-T7451 Stainless Steel 15-5PH Titanium Grade 9 Inconel 625 PEEK
Protective Surface Finishes

Surface treatments enhance structural integrity, appearance, and long-term protection against environmental stress.

  • Hard Anodizing: Increases wear resistance and improves surface hardness.
  • Passivation: Enhances stainless steel’s corrosion resistance.
  • Shot Peening: Strengthens the surface to prevent fatigue cracking.
  • Chromate Conversion: Provides corrosion protection while maintaining electrical conductivity.
