PCC Airfoils is the airfoils division of Precision Castparts Corp. This division deals with injecting, under high pressure, ceramic slurries into metal dies to supply foundries with ceramic cores that have highly complex geometries with tight tolerances. These cores are used during the investment casting process to make the airfoils for turbine engines and industrial gas turbines.
