Info about Polastorm's Aluminium Propellers

Brand: Polaris
Information

POLASTORM is the first company to apply APC casting technology for aluminium screws .

APC casting is known as Aerospace Precision Casting and makes it possible to produce aerospace-grade products with extremely high density and physical strength.

APC casting has been developed based on low-pressure casting technology, with extra casting pressure and a precise computer-controlled system.

Our R&D team has developed the special cast alloy TITANIUM-ALU HYBRID. This material is a combination of A356 with a strontium-magnesium-titanium alloy, processed using solution heat treatment and aging.

The Polaris aluminum screw performs superiorly compared to die casting and injection molding.

Aluminum casting technology
The application of aerospace technology in aluminum ship propellers is now a reality. Thanks to hybrid castings made of strontium, aluminum, and titanium, these propellers are much stronger and more durable than ever before.

Our robot-controlled powder coating line uses AkzoNobel's patented corrosion-resistant powder coating, which is environmentally friendly.
