Aerospace and Aircraft Aluminum Extrusion Profiles

Aluminum has a variety of uses around the world and in so many industries. One of them is aerospace industry. Aluminum due its exceptional and extraordinary strength, low weight, corrosion resistance and versality has various uses in this industry. In this article we will take a closer look to its uses.

Some characteristics of aluminum which makes it suitable for aerospace industry are such as:

  1. Lightweight:

    Renowned for their lightweight nature, aluminum extrusions serve as ideal candidates in aerospace where weight reduction is critical. This attribute enhances fuel efficiency and overall aircraft performance.

  2. High Strength:

    Despite their low weight, these profiles exhibit exceptional strength, capable of withstanding flight stresses, including turbulence and heavy loads.

  3. Corrosion Resistance:

    Operating in diverse environmental conditions, aircraft require materials resistant to corrosion. Aluminum extrusions naturally possess this quality, extending the lifespan of aerospace components.

  4. Machinability:

    Aluminum’s ease of machining allows for fabricating intricate shapes crucial for customizing profiles to meet specific aircraft needs.

  5. Thermal Conductivity:

    With high thermal conductivity, aluminum aids effective heat dissipation, vital for components subjected to elevated temperatures, like engines and landing gear.

Aluminum has so easy to shape and is very durable some of the most used types of aluminum are:

  1. Standard Extrusions:

    Widely used in structural components like frames and panels, these profiles come in various shapes (angles, channels, tubes) and alloys (6061, 7075) tailored to required strength and durability.

  2. Custom Extrusions:

    Tailored to specific design needs, these profiles offer flexibility in shaping unique dimensions for specialized components.

  3. Semi-Hollow Extrusions:

    Partially hollow profiles strike a balance between weight reduction and structural integrity, often used in wing ribs, stringers, and bulkheads.

  4. Tee, Hat, Z-Extrusions:

    Tee, Hat, and Z-shaped profiles find applications in aircraft interiors, lightweight structural elements, and load-bearing sections like door frames and wing spars, respectively.

The application of aluminum profiles in aerospace is so crucial and critical due to the importance of the projects and the high costs of them.

  1. Fuselage Construction:

    Frames and skin for aircraft fuselages benefit from these profiles, maintaining structural integrity while reducing weight for improved fuel efficiency.

  2. Wing Components:

    Essential wing elements like spars, ribs, and leading-edge structures rely on these profiles for their strength and aerodynamic resilience.

  3. Interior Fixtures:

    Used for seat tracks, overhead bins, and partitions, these profiles complement the aircraft’s interior with their lightweight yet durable features.

  4. Landing Gear, Engine Components, Empennage:

    Profiles contribute to landing gear robustness, engine parts’ heat dissipation, and tail section stability, enhancing overall aircraft functionality.
