Assessing the impact of thermal cycling on the electrical conductivity of aerospace components

Assessing the Impact of Thermal Cycling on Electrical Conductivity A Crucial Service for Aerospace Component Manufacturers

In the highly competitive and regulated aerospace industry, ensuring the reliability and performance of components is paramount. With components subjected to extreme temperatures during flight, thermal cycling can significantly impact their electrical conductivity. At Eurolab, our team of experts offers a laboratory service that helps manufacturers assess the effects of thermal cycling on the electrical conductivity of their aerospace components.

What is Thermal Cycling?

Thermal cycling refers to the repeated exposure of materials or components to extreme temperatures, often between -40C and 125C. This cycle can lead to material degradation, affecting the components performance, reliability, and lifespan. In aerospace applications, thermal cycling can be particularly challenging due to the harsh environment encountered during flight.

Why is Assessing Thermal Cycling on Electrical Conductivity Important?

Electrical conductivity is a critical parameter in aerospace components, as it directly affects their ability to function correctly. Components with poor electrical conductivity may experience

Reduced efficiency and performance

Increased risk of overheating or electrical failure
