ABL Components provides a highly specialised aluminium component fabrication service that is critically important for the incredibly demanding criteria of the aerospace industry.
Contributing to the longevity and safety of aircraft
Aluminium is an indispensable material in aircraft manufacturing due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, which directly translates to reduced aircraft mass, leading to improved fuel efficiency, increased payload capacity, and enhanced flight performance. Despite its low weight, aluminium makes up 80% of the weight of the average modern aircraft. Aluminium’s excellent fatigue resistance and formability also make it ideal for complex aerodynamic structures and internal components, where reliability and precision are paramount. Furthermore, aluminium's inherent corrosion resistance contributes to the longevity and safety of aircraft, even in extreme atmospheric conditions.
Leveraging our state-of-the-art fabrication processes
Including ultra-precise CNC machining, advanced forming, and expert welding techniques, ABL Components can produce a wide array of intricate aluminium parts for aerospace applications.
This includes:
- Structural fuselage components
- Wing ribs, and spars
- Precision-engineered brackets for avionics
- Hydraulic systems
- Interior cabin fittings
ABL's capability extends to working with high-performance aerospace-grade aluminium alloys, such as those from the 2xxx (e.g., 2024, 2014) and 7xxx (e.g., 7075, 7050) series, which offer superior strength, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistance critical for aerospace safety and performance standards.
High-quality, custom-engineered aluminium solutions
By partnering with ABL Components, aerospace manufacturers and their extensive supply chain can rely on a dedicated British fabricator for high-quality, custom-engineered aluminium solutions.
