Harris Corporation has signed a long term agreement with TAE for the manufacture and supply of advanced liquid cooled electronics enclosures for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF). The key to the deal was TAE’s Aluminium Vacuum Brazing technology.
TAE is the first Australian company to have successfully developed the Aluminium Vacuum Brazing technology and one of only a small number world-wide to have the capability. One of the attractions to manufacturers is the one-stop-shop capability that TAE offers, with its associated processes (chromate conversion, painting, heat treatment), CNC machining and flow and pressure testing to complement the AVB process. TAE is also able to provide design and prototyping support to customers wishing to develop new products using this sort of technology.
