INDUSTRIAL GASES FOR THE AEROSPACE & AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY
Nitrogen
Essential to the aerospace & aircraft industry, nitrogen is used in high Reynolds number wind tunnels, heat treating furnaces and autoclaves to help create incredibly strong but lightweight materials. Nitrogen is also used as an assist gas for laser cutting applications.
Hydrogen
Used as a power source, industrial hydrogen fuels rockets and powers life-support systems and computers in space environments. It is also used for metal sintering and annealing.
Oxygen
Our liquid oxygen has prepared and launched many bipropellant vehicles since the early 1960’s. We also supply gaseous oxygen to support fuel rocket combustion.
Argon
Argon is a versatile industrial gas used in the production of light bulbs and lasers, and in welding applications. As an inert gas, it can also be used in heat treating and autoclaving processes.
Helium
Helium is used as a lift gas, in both the liquid and gas form, to purge and pressurize liquid hydrogen fuel systems and detect leaks.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS FOR THE AEROSPACE & AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY
Heat Treating
From annealing and brazing to sintering and carburizing, our nitrogen-based heat- treating applications are low in cost, high in productivity, and help you meet the stringent standards of the aerospace & aircraft industry.
Forging
Our proprietary Dilute Oxygen Combustion burners are used to provide even heating in critical preheating processes for the forging of exotic alloys for jet engines and other critical aerospace and aircraft parts.
Autoclave Inerting
At Praxair, we design and install customized systems to provide the high pressure, high flow rates required for autoclave inerting.
