What is Aerospace CNC Machining?
Aerospace CNC machining is the manufacturing of components used to assemble and maintain aircraft and space shuttles. CNC machined parts, kits, and assemblies are highly demanding for aircraft in the aerospace industry. Components used for aerospace equipment and aircraft require to be manufactured precisely to function properly, such as manifolds, bushings, hinges, clamps, or other custom components. Aluminum, titanium, and Kovar are the common materials used for making aerospace components. Other materials like brass, stainless steel, copper, bronze, Inconel, and some plastics are also available for CNC machining aerospace parts.

Our CNC machining services serving the aerospace industry include:
Materials Available for the Aerospace Industry
There are a range variety of material types for your selection to meet the requirements of your aerospace machined parts. Materials used in its component manufacturing for the aerospace industry must be carefully selected. In general, they should be durable and strong while maintaining fairly lightweight. Part of the common materials we use for CNC machining of aerospace components includes:
Aluminum
Aluminum is an excellent choice for high load requirements on aircraft brackets and housings due to its incredible strength-to-weight ratio. It has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio of this metal. Aluminum also possesses high corrosion resistance, ductility, machinability, and stiffness.
Its lightweight properties make it useful in aerospace structural applications such as wing skins, fuselage skins, wing stringers, etc.

Tolerances: ±0.125mm (±0.005″)
Max part size: 200 x 80 x 100 cm
Lead Time: < 10 days
Titanium
Titanium is an ideal metal for demanding applications as a result of its outstanding properties, including great tolerance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme temperatures, as well as an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
These properties make titanium a perfect choice for space vehicles and aircraft engines.

Tolerances: ±0.125mm (±0.005″)
Max part size: 200 x 80 x 100 cm
Wall Thickness: 0.75 mm
Lead Time: < 10 days
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a kind of low-carbon steel with desirable properties for many industrial applications. Stainless steel usually comprises at least 10% chromium (by weight).
They are the best choice for critical joints in aircraft superstructures, engine and exhaust components, and landing gear components, ensuring high durability and performance.

Carbon Fiber
Thanks to their specific stiffness and strength, carbon fiber-reinforced polymers are widely used in the aerospace industry. They also possess greater resistance to fatigue and corrosion, making them ideal for structural components such as control surfaces, wing boxes, and fuselages.
Liquid Silicone Rubber
Our liquid silicon materials are excellent options for thermal flexibility and stability. They keep good properties in the harsh environment of the aerospace industry to ensure the vehicle performs normally.
Surface Finishing Available for Aerospace Parts
Once the CNC machining process is completed, it may require some surface finishing methods to enhance the mechanical properties or aesthetic qualities of your aerospace machined parts. We offer extensive post-processing operations to help to strengthen the wear and corrosion resistance of these products and further improve their performance.
Powder coating
Powder coating is a type of process applied in the form of a free-flowing dry powder. Unlike traditional liquid paint that is delivered by evaporating solvents, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically, and is then cured with heat or UV light.
Materials: Aluminum, steel, stainless steel
Color: Black, any Pantone number or RAL code
Texture: Semi-gloss or gloss
Anodizing
This process is available for improving parts' resistance to corrosion and wear, and enhancing the rigidness so that the part surface is protective.
Materials: Aluminum
Color: Grey, red, blue, gold, clear, black
Texture: Matte, smooth finish
Polishing
Polishing is applied to create a shiny and smooth surface, either via chemical interference or physical rubbing of the part. This process forms a surface with strong specular reflection, but can also reduce diffuse reflection in some materials.
Materials: Aluminum, brass, stainless steel, steel
Color: n/a
Texture: Glossy
Electroplating
It is a process preferred by lots of industries, especially the automotive sector where chrome-plating of steel parts is common.
Materials: Aluminum, stainless steel, steel
Color: n/a
Texture: Glossy, smooth finish
Brushing
Brushing is a process usually for aesthetic purposes, in which marks are drawn on the surface of a material with an abrasive belt.
Materials: Aluminum, stainless steel, steel, brass, ABS
Color: n/a
Texture: Satin
