Aerospace Manufacturing Materials & Processes

Select materials by load, temperature, corrosion, weight, thermal or electrical requirements, and process; prototype materials may not reproduce final production behavior.
Material Category Grades / Types Manufacturing Processes Aerospace Use & Engineering Considerations
Aluminum 6061, 7075 CNC Machining, Sheet Metal Fabrication Common for lightweight brackets, housings, frames, and thermal components. 7075 provides higher strength but requires greater attention to corrosion protection and finishing requirements.
Titanium Grade 5 / TC4, Ti-6Al-4V CNC Machining, Metal 3D Printing Selected where strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance matter. Low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity increase cutting heat, tool wear, and machining time.
Stainless Steel 304, 316, 17-4PH by project CNC Machining, Sheet Metal Fabrication Used for corrosion-resistant housings, shafts, brackets, and precision mechanical parts. Heat-treatment requirements for precipitation-hardening grades should be planned with final dimensional control.
High-Temperature Alloys Selected Inconel and nickel-based alloys CNC Machining, Metal 3D Printing Suitable for components exposed to elevated temperature or demanding mechanical conditions. Work hardening and low machinability can increase tooling requirements and cycle time.
High-Performance Thermoplastics PEEK, PEI, PPS, reinforced grades CNC Machining, Injection Molding, selected 3D Printing Used where heat, chemical resistance, electrical properties, or weight matter. Processing temperature, moisture, shrinkage, and dimensional behavior depend strongly on the grade.
Engineering Plastics PC, PA, POM, ABS and selected grades CNC Machining, Injection Molding, 3D Printing Useful for housings, covers, fixtures, prototypes, and functional components. Prototype polymers should not automatically be treated as equivalent to final aerospace production materials.
Composite & Reinforced Materials FR-4, glass-fiber-reinforced polymers by project CNC Machining, Injection Molding Used for insulating, structural, and electronics-related parts. Fiber orientation, tool wear, edge quality, and dimensional stability require process-specific control.

Aerospace Post-Processing & Secondary Operations

Finishing can affect surface roughness, coating build, datums, threads, mating surfaces, and other critical interfaces.
Process Applicable Materials Typical Use Engineering Consideration
Anodizing Aluminum Corrosion and wear protection for housings, brackets, and structural parts Type II and Type III options; coating requirements should be considered on tight fits, threads, and mating interfaces.
Passivation Stainless Steel Corrosion protection for precision mechanical parts and housings Suitable where corrosion resistance is required without a conventional deposited coating.
Sand / Bead Blasting Metals & selected plastics Surface preparation and uniform matte finish Changes surface roughness and may affect sharp edges or precision surfaces; critical datums should be protected where required.
Powder Coating Metals Protective coating for enclosures, frames, and equipment parts Coating build should be considered around holes, threads, fits, and assembly interfaces.
Painting Metals & Plastics Protective or specified cosmetic finishes Surface preparation and masking affect adhesion, appearance, and dimensional interfaces.
Electroplating Metals Corrosion, wear, conductivity, or specified surface performance Deposited thickness should be included when defining critical dimensions and mating surfaces.
PVD Coating Metals Thin hard coating for wear-sensitive surfaces Coating type and final functional surface requirements should be specified before processing.
Laser Marking Metals & Plastics Serial numbers, identification, QR codes, and traceability Marking position should avoid interfering with critical functional or inspection surfaces.
Heat Treatment Metals Hardness, strength, or material-condition requirements Heat treatment can influence dimensional stability, so the manufacturing and final inspection sequence should be planned accordingly.
Insert Installation Metals & Plastics Threaded and assembly interfaces Insert position, installation method, and final interface requirements should be included in the drawing or RFQ.

FAQs

  • Can Mastars manufacture custom aerospace components from my drawings?

    Yes. Send your 3D CAD file and, where available, a 2D drawing with material, quantity, critical dimensions, tolerances, finish, and inspection requirements. Rough information is fine to start.

  • Do you support aerospace prototyping and aerospace contract manufacturing?

    Yes. Mastars supports aerospace prototypes, engineering validation, pilot builds, low-volume manufacturing, and repeat production. The manufacturing route can change as the design matures.

  • Which manufacturing process should I use for my aerospace component?

    It depends on geometry, material, quantity, and what you need to validate. CNC machining suits precise functional parts, 3D printing suits complex geometry and rapid iteration, while sheet metal, molding, or casting may be more practical for other geometries or production volumes.

  • What materials are available for aerospace components?

    Common options include 6061 and 7075 aluminum, Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V titanium, 304 and 316 stainless steel, selected Inconel and nickel alloys, PEEK, PEI, PPS, and reinforced engineering plastics. Final selection depends on the process and project requirements.

  • What tolerances can you achieve on aerospace components?

    For suitable CNC features, machining capability can reach ±0.005 mm. Actual tolerance depends on geometry, material, wall thickness, feature location, fixturing, thermal effects, finishing, and inspection access.

  • How should I evaluate an aerospace components manufacturer for quality?

    Check the quality system, process capability, material control, inspection equipment, traceability, revision control, and documentation scope. Mastars supports ISO 9001-controlled manufacturing, incoming and in-process inspection, final inspection, CMM, FAI, and project-specific quality records.

  • Can you provide FAI and CMM inspection reports?

    Yes, when required. Mastars can provide first article inspection, CMM measurement, dimensional reports, and agreed manufacturing records. Confirm any required reporting format, including AS9102, before production.

  • Do you provide material certificates and traceability?

    Yes, when specified. Material certificates, CoC, lot traceability, and other required records can be defined before production. Documentation requirements may affect material sourcing, cost, and lead time.

  • Is Mastars AS9100 certified?

    No. Mastars currently operates under ISO 9001:2015 and does not claim AS9100 certification. If AS9100, AS9102, NADCAP, or another aerospace-specific requirement is mandatory, include it in the RFQ before project acceptance.

  • Can you support low-volume or replacement aerospace parts?

    Yes. CNC machining, additive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and other processes can support prototypes, low-volume components, replacement parts, and legacy parts when drawings, samples, or usable design data are available.

  • Can a validated aerospace prototype go directly into production?

    Not always. A prototype may confirm fit, function, or geometry without proving production readiness. Final materials, fixtures, process stability, inspection methods, tolerances, revision control, and documentation may still require validation.

  • What is the typical lead time for aerospace components?

    It depends on the process, material, geometry, finishing, and inspection requirements. Straightforward prototypes can be completed in about 3–7 days in suitable cases, while titanium, Inconel, complex multi-axis machining, special finishing, detailed inspection, or material documentation can extend the schedule.
