Aerospace Aluminium Alloy Grades
Aluminium is ideal for aircraft manufacture because it is lightweight, rigid, strong and corrosion resistant.
Aluminium is roughly a third the weight of steel, allowing an aircraft to carry more weight and/or become more fuel efficient. Aluminium is extensively used in aircraft manufacture, and its ease of fabrication makes it an ideal choice.
One particularly favoured alloy is 7075 aluminium alloy, which is often used to strengthen aircraft structures. It’s estimated that up to 80% of the material used in modern-day aircraft is aluminium (unloaded) and because it is highly resistant to corrosion, it can be left unpainted. Our Service Centres are fully equipped with the latest processing technology and can supply material cut to size to your exact specifications.
