Expert Aerospace MRO Services: Bringing Components Back to Life
When aerospace components reach the end of their service life, the story doesn’t have to end there. At ACMT, our comprehensive MRO services transform worn, damaged, or end-of-life components into fully restored, airworthy parts that meet or exceed original specifications. We’re not just repairing parts, we’re extending the life of your investment while maintaining the uncompromising quality and reliability that aerospace demands.
The ACMT MRO Advantage: Where Innovation Meets Proven Results
What sets our approach apart isn’t just our technology or certifications, though we’re proud of both. It’s our ability to see beyond the immediate repair to the bigger picture of your operational needs. We’ve built our aerospace MRO capabilities around flexibility, ingenuity, and a deep understanding that every component tells a story.
Our fully equipped overhaul and repair shop serves both military and commercial engine components, backed by FAA repair certification #H03R013Y. This isn’t just paperwork, it’s your assurance that every component leaving our facility meets the most stringent aerospace standards.
Comprehensive Gas Turbine Component Repair Services
Complete Component Overhaul Process
Our gas turbine component repair process begins the moment your components arrive. Through SPOP (Solvent Parts Operations Procedure) cleaning performed in-house, we ensure every component starts its repair journey with a clean slate. Our systematic approach includes:
- Thorough tear down and inspection to identify all repair requirements
- Precision machining using state-of-the-art equipment
- Expert blend and de-burr operations that restore aerodynamic efficiency
- Rubber replacement with certified materials
- Complete reassembly following stringent quality protocols
What excites us most about this process is how we can take a component that might otherwise be scrapped and return it to service-ready condition, often with performance characteristics that rival new parts.
Advanced Aerospace Welding Services
Our aerospace welding services represent some of the most sophisticated repair capabilities in the industry. We’ve invested in specialized techniques and equipment because we understand that welding in aerospace isn’t just about joining materials – it’s about maintaining structural integrity under extreme conditions.
Our welding capabilities include:
- Seam welding for continuous, leak-proof joints
- Spot welding for precise, localized repairs
- Titanium welding in atmosphere using custom configured booths
- TIG welding for high-precision applications
- MIG welding for efficient, high-quality repairs
All welding operations are performed under NADCAP certification, providing you with confidence that every weld meets aerospace quality standards.

The ACMT MRO Process: Collaboration at Every Step
Here’s what makes our MRO consulting approach different: we don’t just receive your components and send back repairs. We collaborate with you throughout the entire process.
Once we receive your order, our team conducts a comprehensive inspection and details all needed repairs to restore components to serviceable status. If any repair falls outside current FAA approved data or your Air Carrier’s approved maintenance program, we seamlessly coordinate with our Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) team for review.
But here’s where our ingenuity really shines, we can often develop unique, authorized repairs that prevent premature retirement of your parts. Nothing happens without your approval, of course, but these innovative solutions have saved our customers significant costs while maintaining the highest safety standards.
Comprehensive Repair Authorization Options
Following inspection, we offer multiple pathways to return your components to service:
- OEM Engineering Authorization (EA) for manufacturer-approved repairs
- One Time Concession (OTC) for specific operational requirements
- Customer Departure Record (CDR) for documented deviations
- FAA RS-DER authorizations for regulatory compliance
This flexibility in repair authorizations means we can work within your specific operational and regulatory requirements, finding the most efficient path to get your components back in service.
Service Options Tailored to Your Needs
We offer turbine component repair services through two primary approaches:
Single Component Service: Traditional purchase order per-part repair for specific needs.
Integrated Component Systems: Long-term agreements that include cleaning, inspection, disassembly, overhaul, transportation, and logistics. This comprehensive approach provides predictable costs and streamlined operations.
Why Choose ACMT for Your MRO Replacement Parts Needs
When components are discovered to be beyond standard repair, we don’t just deliver bad news. We explore extended repair options and innovative solutions that might salvage what others would discard. Our MRO replacement parts expertise means we can often provide alternatives that meet your timeline and budget requirements.
Our commitment to lean manufacturing processes and high-output equipment, combined with premium materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, graphite, and Kevlar, ensures every repair delivers maximum value. Dedicated clean rooms prevent cross-contamination, maintaining the integrity of every component we touch.
