TP Sleeve manufacturing

The TP Sleeve is a major component of the Transition Piece. It is located on the forward end of the TP. Its purpose is to position and secure the TP on the engine body.

The Sleeve is manufactured from raw material, that requires several machines and equipment. During the manufacturing process, the part must meet a number of specific criteria, which are carefully observed by Tungsram’s highly qualified operators.

During the manufacturing process, the raw sheet metal goes through a rolling process where the ring shape is formed. Then the part is TIG welded, calibrated and expanded to get its final shape. To prevent any indications on the final product, the part is thoroughly revised by Fluorescent Penetrant Inspectors.
