Magellan Aerospace Signs with Pratt & Whitney
Magellan Aerospace, Toronto, has signed a 10-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), a United Technologies Company, for the supply of complex magnesium and aluminum castings. T e castings reportedly will be pro-
duced primarily by Magellan’s Haley, Ontario division, with several being produced at its Glendale, Ariz., plant. T e agreement is expected to repre-
sent approximately $209 million U.S. in revenue for Magellan through 2023. In addition to the legacy casting
programs for P&WC’s current engine platforms, the agreement includes the production of castings for Pratt & Whitney’s PurePower engine family, which encompasses the Airbus A320 neo, Mitsubishi Regional Jet, and Bombardier CSeries programs. “T is 10-year agreement demon-
strates P&WC’s confi dence in Magel- lan’s ability to produce some of the most complex sand cast geometries in the industry,” said Phillip Underwood, president and CEO, Magellan. “Magel- lan has invested and will continue to invest in innovative new technologies such as robotics and 3D sand print- ing to meet its commitment to achieve the highest standard of product and performance.” “T e solid working relationship
we have developed with Magellan over the past 50 years will continue to benefi t both companies for many years to come,” said Irene Makris, vice president, Supply, Management, Pratt & Whitney Canada. “T ese are highly complex engine components and we’re confi dent that Magellan can consis- tently meet our demanding technical and quality specifi cations.”
Centre de Métallurgie du Québec Expands
T e Centre de Métallurgie du
Québec, Québec, Canada has added 9,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing space to its research and development casting facility. T is will allow it to add addi- tive manufacturing, plasma spray and HVOF coating, vacuum heat treating and HIPing capabilities to the range of molding processes already opera- tional at CMQ; they include nobake sand and investment casting, low pressure and cold chamber pressure die casting, with the adjunct indus- trial melting capacity for magnesium, aluminum, copper, ferrous, nickel, titanium and zirconium alloys. T e Centre de Métallurgie du
Québec, an annex to Collège de Trois- Rivières, provides technical counsel- ling and technology transfer to the metallurgical industry at large.
