What Materials We Work With

Here are the materials we work with.

Aluminum

Aluminum is the backbone of aerospace sheet metal fabrication, valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. It’s an ideal choice for aircraft fuselage panels, heat exchangers, and electronic enclosures, where minimizing weight is critical for fuel efficiency and performance. We fabricate aircraft components using aerospace-grade aluminum alloys to ensure durability without adding unnecessary weight.

Stainless Steel

For applications requiring high durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, stainless steel is unmatched. This material is commonly used in structural components, engine mounts, and fasteners in both commercial and military aircraft. Its corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability make it essential for jet engines and defense systems that operate under intense conditions.

Carbon Steel

Carbon steel offers exceptional toughness and structural integrity, which makes it ideal for heavy-duty aerospace components. It’s often used in reinforced support structures, landing gear, and high-load brackets, where maximum strength is required. While heavier than aluminum, carbon steel provides unmatched durability and impact resistance, which ensures aerospace parts perform reliably in demanding environments.

Our Aerospace Sheet Metal Fabrication Process

Here is our aerospace sheet metal fabrication process from start to finish.

Step 1 – Planning

Every project begins with thorough planning. Our team ensures that each aerospace component is carefully planned for performance, weight, and manufacturability. We assess material selection, tolerances, and fabrication methods to minimize waste and maximize efficiency.

Step 2 – Cutting

Precision cutting is critical in aerospace sheet metal fabrication. We utilize laser cutting, CNC machining, and metal stamping to achieve clean, accurate cuts with minimal material waste. This step ensures tight tolerances for components like aircraft panels, enclosures, and support structures.

Step 3 – Forming

Once the material is cut, it moves to our forming processes, where we shape the sheet metal into structural aerospace parts. Using precision bending, rolling, and stamping techniques, we create brackets, enclosures, and aircraft panels that meet exact aerospace specifications.

Step 4 – Joining

For high-strength aerospace assemblies, we employ welding, brazing, and fastener installation. Our welders specialize in TIG welding and brazing techniques, which ensures strong, lightweight metal assemblies that withstand the demands of aerospace applications.

Step 5 – Heat Treatment

To enhance metal strength and durability, we outsource heat treatment processes like annealing and stress relieving. This step is especially important for aircraft sheet metal fabrication, where temperature resistance and material integrity are critical.

Step 6 – Surface Treatment

To improve corrosion resistance, wear protection, and aesthetics, we outsource surface treatments such as powder coating, anodizing, and plating. These finishes ensure long-lasting performance in harsh aerospace environments, especially for aircraft components exposed to extreme temperatures and pressure.

Step 7 – Quality Control
and Inspection

Every part undergoes strict quality control measures, including CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) inspections, and dimensional checks. We ensure that every sheet metal component meets tolerance requirements, material specifications, and aerospace safety standards before moving to final assembly.

Step 8 – Assembly

For more complex projects, we provide full aerospace assembly services and integrate fasteners, electronic enclosures, and reinforced support structures. Whether it’s aircraft panels, defense enclosures, or aerospace-grade frames, we assemble finished products that are ready for installation.

Step 9 – Final Inspection
and Testing

Before shipping, every aerospace part undergoes final inspection and to verify its performance, strength, and compliance. We ensure that every component meets AS9100 standards and is ready for use in commercial, defense, or space applications.
