Aerospace Metal Products: Unmatched Strength and Precision for Aviation and Space
At Supra Alloys, our aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and nickel products serve critical roles in aerospace applications, ranging from passenger-to-cargo conversions to space and defense systems. Each grade and form is selected to meet the unique demands of strength, durability, and performance under extreme conditions.
Aluminum Plate, Sheet, Bar, and Custom Extrusions – From Passenger to Cargo
Aluminum Sheets and Plates
High-strength alloys like 2024, 7075, and 6061 are essential for modifying fuselage structures. These materials enhance reinforcement and structural integrity, particularly in areas where the cargo floor bears heavy loads.
Extruded Aluminum Profiles
Custom extrusions from 6061 and 6063 alloys are indispensable for framing and support structures. Common applications include cargo door frames, internal partitioning, and floor beams, delivering strength and stability.
Aluminum Tubing and Castings
Tubing systems, often from 6061 or 6063, secure cargo with lightweight barriers that withstand high forces, while castings from A356 anchor critical restraint systems.
Honeycomb Panels and Fasteners
Lightweight aluminum honeycomb panels made from 5052 or 6061 reduce aircraft weight while maintaining durability. Aircraft-grade fasteners, including 2024 and 7075, provide fatigue resistance and secure cargo systems under rigorous conditions.
Titanium Plate, Sheet, Bar – Space and Defense
Structural Frames and Engine Components
Titanium alloys like Ti-6Al-4V provide unmatched strength-to-weight ratios for spacecraft frames, landing gear, and rocket engines. They withstand the intense forces of launch and atmospheric re-entry.
Fuel Tanks and Thermal Shields
Titanium’s corrosion resistance ensures durability in fuel and oxidizer tanks, while its high melting point makes it ideal for heat shields and thermal protection systems.
Interior Panels and Communication Components
Titanium panels protect sensitive equipment from radiation and magnetic interference, while fasteners ensure structural integrity in vibration-intensive environments like rocket launches.
Nickel Plate, Sheet, Bar – High-Performance Space and Defense Solutions
Engine Components and Heat Shields
Nickel superalloys, such as Inconel 625 and 718, thrive in combustion chambers, turbine blades, and exhaust nozzles, withstanding extreme temperatures and pressures.
Cryogenic Systems and Radiation Shielding
Nickel alloys like Invar are critical for cryogenic fuel systems, while Monel provides corrosion resistance. Nickel materials also shield sensitive electronics from radiation in space.
Thermal Management and Power Systems
Nickel alloys are essential for thermal regulation and durable power storage systems like nickel-hydrogen (NiH2) batteries, ensuring reliable energy in long-duration missions.
Stainless Steel Plate, Sheet, Bar, and Custom Extrusions – Passenger to Cargo
Structural and Engine Components
Stainless steel plates, such as 321 and 347, offer heat resistance and strength for landing gear assemblies, bulkheads, and engine mounts.
Thermal Shields and Interior Panels
Stainless sheets create firewalls, thermal shields, and interior panels for cargo holds and kitchens, providing durability and corrosion resistance.
Fasteners and Hydraulic Components
Stainless steel bars are machined into bolts, control rods, and hydraulic system components, ensuring strength and reliability under mechanical and fluid pressure.
