Chromalloy further expands and invests in component manufacturing support and repair services

Chromalloy, a leader in gas turbine engine component repair, advanced coatings, manufacturing support and asset management, has completed a major investment and further expansion of its component manufacturing support and repair capabilities in Tilburg, Netherlands. “Chromalloy’s Tilburg facility has opened a new state-of-the-art coating line to provide gas turbine engine manufacturers and operators with our A-12 aluminum diffusion coating for steel and other turbine components,” said Carlo Luzzatto, President. “When applied to metal components during manufacturing and repair the A-12 protective coating inhibits corrosion and oxidation, effectively extending the life of the components and lowering operators’ maintenance costs.” Chromalloy’s expansion and investment in Europe further serves customers’ manufacturing, production and repair needs in the region, Luzzatto said. In addition to the newly opened A-12 coating line, Chromalloy added complementary new component machining capabilities at its Tilburg gas turbine engine center. The facility is now equipped to provide detail machining after coating applications on all sizes of turbine components. New machining capabilities include laser drilling and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) for components up to and including those in the largest land-based turbines. The 125,000 ft² facility in Tilburg provides OEM new production support and certified component repairs.
