Chromalloy begins offering CF6-50 aircraft engine teardown to parts suppliers

Chromalloy’s San Diego, Calif., engine maintenance, repair and overhaul center now performs CF6-50 power system teardown services for MRO parts suppliers. “We have established a launch customer for our teardown service and will provide it to parts suppliers worldwide – as well as to our existing customers,” said Martin George, General Manager.

“Chromalloy’s San Diego operation is one of the only service providers that can provide tear-down and manage the piece-part inspection and repair – all under one roof,” George said. Teardown on two 747 commercial airliner engines for a global parts supplier is now under way at the San Diego center.

The CF6-50 is the first engine for teardown service offered by Chromalloy; others will be added in 2012 and 2013.

The company’s 110,000-square-foot maintenance, repair and overhaul center – the only MRO in Chromalloy’s global network of component repair stations – provides a range of other services including module refurbishment, equipment exchange, seals, Non-Destructive Testing, engine monitoring and test cell analysis.

“San Diego is the only location within the company’s global network to offer tear-down and full MRO services,” George said. In 2011, the San Diego repair center was modernized and additional equipment and tooling added.
