Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme
High temperature heat exchanger
Lead:
HS Marston Aerospace Ltd
Partners:
Advanced Chemical Etching (SME technology provider) and
Rolls-Royce (end user).
• Objective
– Application of new material and processes to extend operating
temperature of heat exchangers by ~ 300C.
• Deliverables
– New manufacturing process specs and designs and report
demonstrating higher temperature capability.
– Etching of high temp corrosion free alloys demonstrated.
• Outcomes
– Learned how to work with higher temp material; led to
successful application in new market prototype.
– New laboratory for ACE (HF free etching of Ti) now used in
major new business.

Aerospace Technology Exploitation Programme
Aerospring
Lead:
G&O Springs (SME)
Partners:
Alloy Wire (SME), Reliable Spring Manufacturing (SME),
Institute of Spring Technology (research provider), Aero
Engine Controls, BAE Systems (end users).
• Objective
– To manufacture springs in novel materials chosen by the end
users, eg titanium and nickel alloys.
– Testing the springs.
– Update existing design packages with test data, allowing lower
mass designs.
