Our next series of articles will highlight some of the most common materials used in the precision CNC machining of aerospace parts and components. Let’s get started.

Titanium

Titanium is often used in the precision CNC machining of aerospace parts and components because of its corrosion resistance, ability to withstand exposure to chemicals, and its excellent performance in extreme temperatures. Titanium is often used in manufacturing of frames and engines.

Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber is known for its high specific strength, corrosion resistance, and stiffness. It is commonly used in the precision CNC machining of structural aerospace parts such as fuselages and control surfaces.

Our next article will cover more types of materials used in the manufacturing of aerospace parts and components.
