Aerospace Fastener Testing

Support for your quality program
Producing fasteners for the aerospace industry requires a greater focus on quality and material selection to meet high performance expectations. A comprehensive testing program helps you to ensure that your materials and processes will meet your customers’ exacting requirements.

The approvals you need to supply aerospace and defense
Stork works with you in all phases of your product’s life cycle: from R&D support, through manufacturing and life cycle verification, to failure analysis and service. Whether you need to test individual fasteners or fastening systems, our highly trained staff is ready to help. Our chemistry department has the equipment and standards you’ll need to test the aluminum, titanium and highnickel alloys common in the aerospace industry. We can provide atmospheric heat treatment for your test samples, as well as elevated temperature tensile and stress rupture expertise.

Our engineers investigate samples in accordance with such governing bodies as:

• National Aerospace & Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap)
• American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
