Aerospace Manufacturing Materials

•  Titanium

Titanium is popular in aircraft and aerospace because of properties like corrosion resistance, thermal expansion, and a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is easily machined, making it the perfect candidate for sheet metal, 3D printing, and CNC machining services. Titanium serves armor, airframes, and other structural purposes in the aerospace industry.

•  Aluminum

Aluminum is corrosion-resistant, lightweight, strong, and very machinable. It is excellent for making brackets and housing that will be under the pressure of the high load. Aluminum is widely used in the aircraft industry for its strength-to-weight ratio, helping engineers manage fuel efficiency.

•  Elastomers

Elastomers like liquid silicone rubber are excellent for rapid prototyping, lens, and lighting applications in aircraft and automobiles. Elastomers are used in the industry for fuel and oil resistance applications. Because of their mechanical properties, elastomeric materials are suitable for high-temperature, self-lubricating, and high-performance applications within engines, bearings, and transmission components.

•  Inconel

Inconel is a 3D-printed material used for high-temperature mechanical applications in making aerospace components and rocket engine parts.

•  Stainless steel

Stainless steel is used in the aerospace industry for its well-known strength. It is also corrosion-resistant, durable, and suitable for use in harsh work environments. Steel also has excellent mechanical attributes and can be machined, or 3D printed.

•  Nickel alloys

Nickel alloys have high strength, low thermal expansion, electrical resistance, and memory hysteresis. They are used to meet the defense needs and applications within the aerospace industry.

•  Other metals and alloys

Other metal alloys of cobalt-chromium, brass, steel, and more are also available for high-performance, precision machining and tight tolerance applications in the aerospace industry.

•  Thermoplastics

Thermoplastic materials like ABS, Delrin, Nylon, PEEK, PP, PTFE, PMMA, PC, and more are all available in CNC machining, high-quality parts for prototyping or end-use in the aerospace industry.
