Sundram Fasteners Ltd., based in Chennai, has played a crucial role in the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The firm has supplied fasteners to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). “We have been supplying very critical fasteners to ISRO since 2013 for launch pad assembly, launch vehicle and so on. The fasteners are made of alloy steel, heat-resistant stainless steel, super alloy with coatings such as silver plating, aluminium ion vapor deposition and passivation,” a company official said.
It all started with the testing support Sundram Fasteners extended to Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) and showcasing world-class fastener manufacturing capabilities in 2012. Support was provided for Torque-Tension Test.
The company said that it manufactured similar fasteners to support ISRO’s future missions and expecting further more orders. In addition to ISRO, it is associated with L&T, HAL, and Skyroot.
