What are aerospace aluminum extrusions, and what are they used for?

Aerospace aluminum extrusions are aluminum alloys that have been formed into specific shapes using a process called extrusion. Aluminum alloys are well suited for this process because they can be easily heated and formed into the desired shape.

Aerospace aluminum extrusions are used in various applications, including aircraft construction, window and door frames, and automotive parts. Aluminum extrusions are also relatively easy to work with and can be joined together using various methods, such as welding or riveting.

Applications for Aerospace Aluminum Extrusions

Aerospace aluminum extrusions are one of the most versatile materials in aircraft construction and are used in various applications, from fuselage and wing skins to stringers and spars. Thomas provides the example that aluminum alloys are used in aerospace applications because they can withstand the freezing temperatures of space.

Aerospace aluminum extrusions also construct flight control surfaces, such as ailerons, elevators, and rudders. In addition, they are used to build landing gear and other structural components.

Some typical applications for aerospace aluminum extrusions are:

  • Aircraft skins
  • Aerospace frames
  • Fuel tanks
  • Hydraulic reservoirs
  • Landing gear struts
  • Wing spars
