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 extrusions are well suited for this process because they can be easily heated and formed into the desired shape.

Aerospace aluminum extrusions are used in a variety of aerospace applications, including airframe components, interior structures, support brackets, and window or access panel framing. These extrusions are lightweight, strong, and highly machinable, and can be assembled using methods such as welding, riveting, or mechanical fastening.

Applications for Aerospace Aluminum Extrusions

Aerospace aluminum extrusions are one of the most versatile materials in aircraft applications and are used in various applications, from fuselage and wing skins to stringers and spars. Aerospace aluminum extrusions are widely used in aircraft manufacturing, especially in structural components such as fuselage frames, wing skins, stringers, and spars. Their strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance make them ideal for load-bearing and aerodynamic structures. 

For example, Boeing commercial jets like the 737, 747, and 777 utilize BAC-series aluminum extrusions extensively in seat tracks, cargo tracks, and secondary structural components. Though military airframes such as the C‑17 Globemaster III rely primarily on sheet-and-plate structures, they likely incorporate extruded profiles in support systems like floor and cargo tracks. Alloys such as 2024-T3, 6061-T6, and 7050-T7451 are commonly selected for these extrusions due to their proven performance in high-stress aerospace environments.

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
