How Precision CNC Machining is Powering the Future of Aerospace

In the aerospace sector, precision has long been a driving force in manufacturing. The intricate, high-performance systems of modern aircraft and spacecraft demand precision components ranging from fasteners to dependable engine housings. From fuel efficiency to aerodynamics, the accuracy of each component impacts operational efficiency and performance.

The experts at G.V. Industries understand these needs and work to meet them as a top provider of computer numerical control (CNC) machining in the industry. We work closely with clients in aerospace applications to develop the safest, most reliable components while helping to drive innovation in the larger industry.

Why Aerospace CNC Machining Is Different

What sets precision aerospace machining apart from conventional manufacturing services is a set of specific guidelines that are closely followed to ensure consistently excellent results.

Strict Quality and Traceability

Aerospace manufacturing processes must ensure superior quality and traceability in the parts they deliver. At G.V. Industries, we strictly adhere to AS9100 and other industry standards. We maintain consistent traceability across all of our deliverables, keeping an in-depth record of every step from the use of raw materials to the development of the final part.

Tight Tolerances

Aerospace components also require some of the tightest tolerances to keep them functioning properly, with even a slight deviation potentially leading to a malfunction. We implement state-of-the-art technology with the help of highly trained and experienced machinists to meet tolerance requirements for nearly any type of aerospace component, regardless of application.

Highly Reliable Materials

Components in this industry require materials that can withstand some of the harshest environments, which can make the materials difficult to machine. However, G.V. Industries has extensive experience working with various superalloys and other types of cutting-edge material options to meet your needs.

Intricate Designs

Today’s aircraft requires complex and often free-form designs to optimize weight and aerodynamics. Using a multi-axis CNC machine, we can develop some of the most complex shapes and intricate part designs with accuracy and precision.

Materials Used in Aerospace Manufacturing

Part of what enables us to deliver consistently great results to all of our aerospace clients is our use of some of the most dependable material options in the industry, including:

Titanium. This metal material is among the most popular in aerospace applications because of its high corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio. We can get the most from this material by bypassing its low elasticity and thermal conductivity during the machining process, providing top-quality components for structural frames and various engine parts.
Inconel and other superalloys. Components in equipment frequently exposed to high pressure and temperatures can benefit from Inconel. We use specialized tools and our experience with superalloys to give our customers the best results with all Inconel CNC machining processes.
Aluminum alloys. While lighter than steel, these materials also require precision during manufacturing. Our experts can machine aluminum components for housings, frames, fuselages, and other types of components that need to meet tight weight requirements.
Composites and high-performance polymers. In addition to metal machining, our expertise applies to various advanced polymers and composite materials, many of which are integral for different aircraft components.
