Curtiss-Wright Segment Awarded Contract From Rolls-Royce - Quick Facts

(RTTNews) - Curtiss-Wright Corp. (CW) announced its Surface Technologies segment has been awarded a contract from Rolls-Royce to establish and operate a laser peening production cell inside of Rolls-Royce's wide chord fan blade manufacturing facility in Singapore.

Curtiss-Wright's laser peening technology is based on a Neodymium glass laser technology, which was originally developed in conjunction with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It has the ability to impart deep compressive stresses on the surface of metal parts, which can then be used to minimize the maintenance/inspection interval of these critical components.
