Landing Gear Systems

  • Industry Context & Processing Challenges: Landing gear cylinders, main struts, and bogie beams are forged from ultra-high-strength alloy steels (300M, 15-5PH) hardened above 50 HRC. Heavy rough turning and deep hole boring demand high tool toughness under severe mechanical shock.
  • Technical Requirements: Strict bore circularity, zero subsurface micro-cracks, and high fatigue resistance.
  • ZWH Tooling Solutions & Value: ZWH heavy-duty indexable turning tools with thick CVD coatings and rigid deep-hole boring bars absorb heavy impacts, providing stable chip breaking and crater wear resistance.
