Aerospace Structural Components
Load-bearing airframe components including bulkheads, ribs, spars, and wing boxes manufactured from titanium alloys for commercial and defense aircraft.
Titanium is the material of choice for aerospace structural components due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and fatigue performance at elevated temperatures.
Typical Components
- Bulkheads — Primary load-bearing frames in the fuselage structure
- Ribs & Spars — Wing and empennage structural members
- Wing Boxes — Center wing box assemblies
- Engine Pylons — Mounting structures for engines
- Landing Gear Components — High-load structural members
Material Grades
| Grade | Application |
|---|---|
| Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) | General-purpose structural components |
| Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) | Fracture-critical applications |
| Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo | High-temperature sections (up to 540°C) |
Key Requirements
- Strict traceability per AS9100D
- First Article Inspection (FAI) per AS9102
- NADCAP-approved special processes
- Material certifications per ASTM standards
