metals used for Aerospace Who We Supply

Our specialist products are used
widely in the aerospace industry

William Rowland has worked with civil aerospace companies for decades.

We supply metals to the aerospace industry for use throughout the manufacturing process from nickels, chrome, molybdenum solids into primary melting. We also supply Revert materials to be included into the melting process to create powders (nickel, chrome). In addition, we supply aluminium and powder material for thermal coating and 3D printing.

Our strong supplier agreements, quick lead times, good reputation and ability to further process materials, including cutting and inspection services, set us apart from our competition and makes us a leading supplier for civil aerospace engineering.

OVER OUR SEVERAL DECADES OF EXPERIENCE IN THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY, WE HAVE BUILT STRONG SUPPLIER AGREEMENTS, WHICH ALLOWS US TO OFFER QUICK TURNAROUND TIMES FOR OUR CLIENTS WITH A RANGE OF PROCESSES

How Big is the UK Aerospace Industry?

The UK aerospace industry is the second largest in the world behind the US, totalling approximately $32 billion. The aerospace industry accounts for the second largest amount of exports from the UK after precious metals exports, although both industries experience some crossover with one another.

There are more than 3000 aerospace companies currently in the UK.

What is Used in the Aerospace Industry?

Aluminium

Aluminium 2024 is widely used in the aerospace industry due to its properties as a high grade alloy with a high yield strength and considerable fatigue resistance. The most common uses for aluminium are as a sheet metal used on the wings and fuselage.

Chrome

Chrome is used in the aerospace industry to improve abrasion and wear resistance, preventing corrosion, reducing friction; improving the overall performance of all manufactured components.

Molybdenum Solids

Molybdenum solids are used in steel alloys to increase their strength, electrical conductivity, hardness, and resistance to corrosion; making them perfect as a base metal for engine parts.

Nickels

Nickel alloys are mainly used for turbine blades, as they are strong, resistant to corrosion, and maintain their structural integrity under high pressure.

Powder Material for Thermal Coatings

The most common powder materials applied for the purpose of thermal coatings is a ceramic thermal barrier coating, which is applied using the plasma spray process.

Over our several decades of experience in the aerospace industry, we have built strong supplier agreements, which allows us to offer quick turnaround times for our clients with a range of processes
