Powder Metallurgy
Powder Metallurgy forms parts from powdered metal with heat and pressure; used for producing parts with unique properties in aerospace.
Punching and Shearing
Punching and Shearing involve cutting and shaping metals by removing parts; used in the fabrication of aerospace framework.
Water Jet Cutting
Water Jet Cutting uses high-pressure water to cut materials; chosen for aerospace parts when heat-affected zones must be avoided.
Casting
Casting involves pouring molten material into a mold; used for creating complex shapes like turbine blades in aerospace.
Rotational Molding
Rotational Molding creates hollow parts by rotating a mold; used for constructing large, hollow objects such as fuel tanks in aerospace.
Forging
Forging shapes metal using compressive forces; provides strength to critical components like landing gear in aerospace.
Welding
Welding fuses materials together using heat; crucial for the construction of fuel tanks and other structural aerospace elements.
Thermoforming
Thermoforming shapes plastics by heating to a pliable forming temperature; implemented in creating cabin components for aerospace.
Machining
Machining removes material to shape parts; critical for creating precise components in aerospace engines and airframes.
Laser Cutting
Laser Cutting uses a laser to cut materials; applied in producing intricate components and lightweight structures in aerospace.
Laminating
Laminating bonds layers of materials together; used in creating strong, lightweight composite structures in aerospace.
Brazing and Soldering
Brazing and Soldering join parts by melting a filler metal; used in electrical systems and engine components in aerospace.
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing)
Additive Manufacturing layers materials to create parts; used for prototyping and producing complex aerospace components.
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)
HIP uses high pressure and temperature to eliminate porosity in castings; enhances the integrity of aerospace components.
Sheet Metal Forming
Sheet Metal Forming shapes thin metal sheets; utilized in making fuselage, wings, and other skin panels in aerospace.
Rapid Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping quickly fabricates a scale model using 3D computer-aided design; crucial in aerospace for design validation.
Injection Molding
Injection Molding injects molten polymer into a mold; often used for making plastic parts in aircraft interiors.
Extrusion
Extrusion pushes material through a die to create long parts with uniform cross-sections; used for aerospace structural components.
Electrochemical Machining (ECM)
ECM uses electrical current to dissolve metal precisely; employed in crafting intricate cooling holes in aerospace turbine blades.
Chemical Milling
Chemical Milling removes material by chemical etching; used for reducing weight in metal aerospace components without losing strength.
