description

Aircraft structural forgings are the high-performance forgings that hold aircraft together - landing gear components, wing fittings, fuselage attachments, and engine mounts. These are safety-critical components where failure has catastrophic consequences. Aluminum forgings (2024, 6061, 7075) are the most common for aircraft structure - the alloys are developed specifically for aerospace applications with tight control of composition and properties. Titanium forgings (Ti-6Al-4V) handle high-temperature applications like engine components. Alloy steel forgings (4330, 4340) serve landing gear and other high-load applications. AS9100 certification governs the quality management system for aerospace suppliers - it requires documented process controls, material traceability, and rigorous inspection at every step.

Why AS9100 Certification Exists

Before AS9100, every aerospace company had its own quality system requirements, and suppliers had to qualify separately for each customer. AS9100 harmonized those requirements. When you buy from an AS9100-certified supplier, you know the quality system meets the combined requirements of Boeing, Airbus, and other major primes.
