Why our rejection rate is so low

Understanding how companies inspect, pack and ship aerospace profiles is very important. Structural shapes that are transported in flimsy tubes or cardboard are a recipe for disaster and the risk of exposure to damage is high. Aircraft Extrusion Company not only understands this concept, but aggressively addresses the task with a solution to fit all of our customers needs. Our flex form cartons significantly reduce our exposure and mitigate risk of freight damage.

How we inspect

widerAll material is fully inspected for dimensional correctness prior to stocking including a visual acceptance for dings, scratch or dents. The certification is also inspected to ensure that material meets the requested specification, with no exceptions, and that the heat lot and specification on material also conforms with the mill test report.

How we pack

We take pride in our extruded shapes and tubes, and the way we pack them. Bad packing is one of the most common area for damage. It benefits no one and everyone loses. All our extrusions are packed in either a sturdy .180" thick tube for short length up to 6ft. Longer pieces are shipped in either our 5" flex-form packaging or our larger 4 x 8 packaging. Flex-form is densely laminated paperboard panels with paper separations allowing the panels to be folded to create a finished product. Flex-form comes in varying dimensions including squares, rectangles, L-shapes, U-shapes, and triangles


Inspection

All material is fully inspected prior to stocking. including visual acceptance for dings, scratch or dents. The certification is also inspected to ensure that material meets the spec, with no exceptions, and that the heat lot and specification on the sheets agrees with the test report supplied. We also ensure quality by employing experienced quality personnel, through automated inspections, and utilizing CNC Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs).

Commitment to Quality.

Aircraft Extrusion Co, both ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 Rev D. certified, provides the high level of quality that aerospace and defense manufacturers need, without exception. We do this with a keen focus on quality metrics. Aircraft Extrusion utilizes Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods to ensure that our facility operates at peak production without being over extended, and the result is a Parts Per Million (PPM) well below the industry average.

We exceed AS9100 

Our AS9100 certified quality management system allows us to provide the consistency and traceability required in the aviation industry. We pride ourselves on our document control procedures which ensure all required documentation is controlled, distributed, and maintained appropriately.

Inventory

Aircraft Extrusion Company holds over 2000 items in stock in 2024 and 7075. Over the years we have made standard and non-standard shapes in imperial and metric sizes. For more information contact one of our sales team or send an RFQ.


Think Small

Aircraft's ultra-precision aluminum extrusions are produced through a proprietary technique that delivers features, tolerances, and surface finishes previously believed to be impossible. This process produces products at the sub-millimeter range, making it ideal for medical equipment and consumer electronics.
