About Sonic Industries
Sonic Industries was founded in 1964, and is located in Torrance, CA. Sonic Industries produces fasteners, specialty bolts, fuse pins, nuts, and close tolerance machined products for commercial and military applications. Sonic is recognized as the World Leader in fuse pin technology™ with this unique offering having been designed into all of the latest generation Boeing commercial aircraft. Fuse pins are used to attach wings, rudder, horizontal stabilizer, engines, and landing gear to the aircraft structure. Fuse pins are specially designed to allow these attached structures to cleanly separate cleanly from the aircraft’s structure under a specific amount of overload to prevent more severe damage to the aircraft structure.
Sonic’s manufacturing capabilities include hot forging (heading), grinding, honing, gun drilling, and thread rolling. One major differentiator is the extensive number of special processes that are performed in-house such as heat treat, shot peen, non-destructive testing (NDT), passivation, solid film lubrication, HVOF (High Velocity Oxy Fuel) coatings and finish grinding. These capabilities are backed up by extensive functional and environmental testing.
Sonic specializes in precision high-strength threaded pins and fasteners manufactured from both standard and exotic materials including; Inconel®, titanium, 300M, 15-5PH, A-286, PH13-8Mo, Aermet® 100, Custom 465®, and numerous others.
Sonic’s products are used in a wide range of aircraft applications including engine mounts, landing gear, leading edge, flap support, vertical & horizontal stabilizers. Sonic also produces a specialty offering in support of helicopter applications for the blade retention, control rods, swashplates, pitch rods, blade grip and trunnions.
Sonic also services industrial applications such as the IBOP (Inside Blowout Preventer) ball valves for the oil and gas industries.
