Materials Commonly Used in the Manufacture of Aerospace Parts
Manufacturing aerospace parts involves selecting materials that can withstand extreme conditions like high pressures, temperatures, and corrosion while remaining lightweight and durable.
Aluminum Alloys
Widely used due to their low density and high strength. Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and relatively easy to fabricate. It's commonly used for fuselage, wings, and other structural components.
Titanium Alloys
Known for their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Titanium is often used in engine components and critical structural parts because it performs well at high temperatures.
Steel Alloys
Particularly high-strength steels are used for parts that require more strength and durability. Steel is heavier than aluminum and titanium but is used for landing gear, fasteners, and other components where high stress is common.
Nickel Alloys
Such as Inconel, are used for their ability to maintain structural integrity at high temperatures. They are commonly found in engine turbines and exhaust systems.
Composites
These include carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) and glass-reinforced polymers (GRPs). Composites are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratios and are extensively used in modern aircraft, including major parts of the airframe and in jet engine components.
Thermoplastics and Thermoset Plastics
Such as PEEK, PEI (Ultem), and epoxy resins are used for interior cabins, insulation, and non-structural components due to their lightweight and good thermal insulation properties.
Surface Treatment Options for Aerospace Parts
Enhance the durability, functionality, and longevity of your aerospace components with our advanced surface treatment options.
Anodizing
Commonly applied to aluminum alloys to increase corrosion resistance and surface hardness, and to allow for better adhesion of paints and primers. It also provides a decorative finish.
Passivation
Used primarily on stainless steel parts, passivation involves treating the surface with an acid solution to remove free iron and other contaminants, enhancing corrosion resistance.
Electroplating
This process involves coating a part with a thin layer of another metal, such as nickel, chrome, or cadmium, to improve corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or electrical conductivity.
Conversion Coatings
Including chromate, phosphate, and black oxide coatings, these are used to increase corrosion resistance, enhance paint adhesion, and reduce light reflection.
Hard Coating
Typically involves the deposition of thin films of materials such as titanium nitride or diamond-like carbon to increase surface hardness and wear resistance.
Powder Coating
This process involves applying a powder material and curing it under heat to form a hard, protective finish that is thicker and more robust than conventional paint layers.
Thermal Spraying
Used to apply coatings of metals, ceramics, or plastics in molten or semi-molten form to improve a component’s surface properties for temperature resistance, wear resistance, or restoration purposes.
Shot Peening
A mechanical process used to improve the fatigue strength of components subjected to cyclic stress, such as gears and engine parts, by inducing beneficial compressive stresses into the outer layer of metal.
Laser Peening
Similar to shot peening but uses high-intensity laser pulses to induce compressive stresses, enhancing the fatigue life and stress-corrosion cracking resistance of critical aerospace components.
Chemical Film Coating (Alodine)
Provides corrosion protection to aluminum alloys while also improving paint adhesion without adding significant weight to the parts.
Rigorous Parts Inspection Process
We employ the most advanced methods to ensure the highest quality and compliance with aerospace industry standards. This includes thorough visual inspections using advanced optical tools to detect surface and structural defects. Dimensional accuracy is guaranteed through precision instruments such as Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and laser scanners, providing detailed measurements of complex geometries.
