Advanced Materials Technologies

Advanced Materials Technologies, known as AMT, is an FAA Part 145 repair station in Chandler, Arizona. It repairs hot-section turbine parts for auxiliary power units, or APUs. The company says it has served aerospace since 2011.

AMT works for airlines, engine overhaul shops and aviation parts distributors around the world. It says it handles everything from small repairs to casting replacement. It also says it gets a near-complete yield on parts that others call beyond repair. It guarantees lead times.

The company supports Honeywell GTCP131-9A and 131-9B, GTCP331-200, 331-250, 331-350 and 331-500 APUs, and the Pratt and Whitney PW901A. These power aircraft such as the A320, Boeing 737NG and 737 MAX, 757, 767, A300, A310, A330, A340, 777 and 747-400. It also repairs Solar Centaur and Solar Saturn power turbines. A new repair for the GTCP331-500 covers the second-stage compressor housing.

A proprietary casting replacement process is a main selling point. AMT joins reusable parts of the original component to a new casting, so the original serialised part stays in use. The company says this costs far less than new OEM parts. Repairs are developed with an on-site designated engineering representative, including for complex or out-of-production parts.

The company does most of the work in one 65,000 square foot building. In-house processes include electron beam welding, vacuum furnace brazing, honeycomb brazing, heat treatment, platinum aluminide coating and thermal spray coating. The machine shop has five-axis CNC machining, CNC lathes, vertical turning lathes, and wire, sinker and five-axis EDM hole drilling. Inspection includes non-destructive testing, fluorescent penetrant inspection and Hexagon coordinate measuring machines.

AMT says its quality system follows ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100. American Airlines, Southwest Airlines and TurbineAero are listed as trusted partners. Visitors can request a quote, search components and view careers.
