Metals for Aerospace

From planetary exploration, space shuttle flights and satellite communication through to the civilian sector of helicopters, propeller driven planes, executive jets and passenger airliners, the remit of the aerospace sector is vast.

This ever changing industry, which also includes military sector requirements, has come a long way since the building of the first aircraft. Today the industry is a world of complex alloys, high precision castings and forgings, all of which are produced using nickel, cobalt, chromium, titanium and aluminium metals.

This complexity is one of the reasons specialist steel makers and engineering designers continually strive to improve upon the high strength, low weight creep resistant alloys currently in use. Rhenium containing single crystal alloys for turbine blades, metal matrix composites and ceramics are all prime examples of this development.

As a long established metals supply company, William Rowland Limited are able to supply foundries producing castings for aerospace application and land based turbines with the high purity metals necessary for their production.
