The way you treat a material can significantly alter its properties and open up new applications. For example, solid wood paneling typically makes a room very echoey, but you can prevent those echoes by punching many small holes in the wood’s surface. This process is known as perforating, and it has a wide range of applications, including many applications in the aerospace industry.
In this article, our team at IPS Perforating, Inc. will go over a few reasons why we encourage you to use our custom aerospace perforation services.
- Weight Reduction – One reason to use our custom aerospace perforation services is that perforating a material reduces its weight, which is essential for aircraft design. Our team knows how to perforate various materials to make them lighter without compromising their structural integrity.
- Heat Control – Another reason to use our custom aerospace perforation services is because it helps improve heat control. Our team understands that things like aircraft and satellites need to be shielded from extreme heat, and we can help prepare protective materials for that purpose. We can perforate your insulation to ensure air can exit easily during the craft’s ascent, which will prevent the pressure of escaping air from damaging the vehicle.
- Cabin Noise Control – Lastly, our custom aerospace perforation services can keep your cabin quiet and comfortable. Using perforated upholstery and paneling in your cabin will absorb sound and prevent echoes, which will help make the ride much more pleasant for you and your passengers throughout.
