Aerospace Forgings
Superalloy and titanium forgings for rotorcraft jet engines and aerostructures
What Aerospace Forgings Is and Who It Is For
Aerospace work covers rotorcraft and jet engines, military and space, and aerostructures. Materials include alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminium alloys, nickel alloys, cobalt alloys and titanium alloys, with common superalloy grades such as Alloy 718, Alloy 718 Plus, Alloy 242, Alloy C263 and Alloy 783, and common titanium grades Ti 6-4 and Ti 6-2-4-2.
Key Benefits
- Superalloy and titanium grades held as normal working materials
- 5-axis machining for complex machined details
- Heat treatment and testing on the same order
- Reliable and durable forged parts for flight critical hardware

How It Compares
Titanium alloys are chosen for strength to weight, nickel and cobalt alloys for hot section strength. We forge both, so the material decision stays with the designer.
Use Guide
- Send the full specification including heat treatment and testing requirements
- State the certification and documentation you need with delivery
- Allow lead time for superalloy material procurement
