Aluminum And The Aerospace Industry

​Aluminum is an incredibly popular option when companies are looking for aerospace welding services. Well suited for this industry, it is lightweight and easy to manipulate into just about any shape or design. It helps keep air and spacecraft afloat better than other metals. Aluminum also makes an excellent magnetic shield, which is often of significant importance in the aerospace industry. If our clients require it, we can even measure the magnetic permeability of our aluminum both before and after we weld it.
 
At Meyer Tool & Mfg., we are aerospace aluminum fabrication experts. We understand that aluminum is a unique metal, and we know how to handle it to create any project you desire or require. As an example, we are aware that aluminum is more porous than other metals commonly used in this industry, particularly after welding. Our unique welding procedure includes the proper mix of heat input and swiftness, which results in a weld with a high amount of concentration and consistency.

Uses for Aerospace-Grade Aluminum

There is a wide array of uses for aerospace-grade aluminum. In fact, as custom fabricators, we can design whatever you need. However, some of the more common uses of this type of aluminum are:

The Aerospace Industry and the Future

The aerospace industry is incredibly promising. It includes not just airplanes and space shuttles and probes these days, but rockets, space stations, manned and unmanned space vehicles, and even terrestrial vehicles and habitats to use on other planets.
 
Many of the objects being built in the aerospace industry are experimental, and are being used in tests here on Earth to make sure they will do what they need to do in space or on alien worlds. This means, the crafts being built must be highly creative and often unlike anything else that has ever been built before.
 
Companies that can handle this kind of innovation in fabrication and construction are few and far between. That is why Meyer Tool is one of the few go-to fabricators of the industry. We are among the top aerospace welding companies in the world, and our work will be part of the next level of space exploration.
