Examples of technologies utilized in the aerospace and defense industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing technology is a processing method that can reduce the weight and increase the strength of airframe and structural components in the aerospace field. It is mainly used in the manufacture of main and tail wings, airframe panels, structural materials for satellites, and rocket fairings. Compared to metal, CFRP is lighter and has superior corrosion resistance and fatigue strength, which also allows for improved fuel efficiency and durability. High processing technology is required for molding, cutting, and joining, and we are capable of manufacturing high-precision parts based on our extensive experience and know-how.

金属3Dプリント

Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D printing technology is used in the aerospace industry to manufacture engine parts and structures, enabling complex shapes and integrated molding that have been difficult to achieve with conventional methods. Typical examples include combustion chambers, rocket injectors, turbine blades, and satellite support structures. In addition to reducing the number of parts, reducing weight, and increasing strength, it is attracting attention as a high-performance manufacturing method for development sites that require shorter delivery times and greater design freedom.

樹脂3Dプリント

Resin 3D Printing

Resin 3D printing technology is widely used to produce lightweight cabin parts, piping jigs, and covers for aircraft and spacecraft. It offers a high degree of freedom in design and contributes to small-lot, multi-variety prototyping and faster development. In addition, the conventional mold-free manufacturing method enables cost reduction and speedy design improvement. The use of flame-retardant and heat-resistant materials makes it possible to manufacture parts that can be used in in-flight environments and in outer space.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal processing technology is utilized in the aerospace industry to manufacture airframe structures and interior parts. Using lightweight and high-strength metals such as aluminum and titanium, we can form and process with high precision the outer panels of airframes, wing panels, and engine covers. In particular, since weight reduction is required for aircraft parts, thin sheets are processed, welded, and bent with high precision to achieve both weight reduction and strength of parts.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting is an indispensable machining process for manufacturing parts that require high precision and high strength in the aerospace industry. Specifically, materials such as aluminum, titanium, and heat-resistant alloys are used for precision machining of engine parts, aircraft frames, rocket propulsion mechanism parts, and satellite structures. Cutting can accommodate complex shapes and tight dimensional tolerances, making it possible to both stabilize quality and reduce weight. In addition, it is often used for parts for which durability and reliability are important.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding technology is used in the aerospace industry to mass produce lightweight, high-precision plastic parts. Parts made by injection molding include control panels in cockpits, connectors for wiring, cable covers, and interior components. Injection molding uses high-performance resins that are flame- and heat-resistant, enabling parts with complex shapes to be molded in one piece in a short time. Injection molding is also used in the manufacture of a wide range of parts because of its ability to reduce weight and costs.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that causes plastic deformation of materials below their recrystallization temperature and can be utilized in the manufacture of aerospace and defense components. It is mainly used in the manufacture of structural parts for aircraft and spacecraft, engine parts, missile parts, and other parts requiring high strength and high precision. Cold working is important in the aerospace and defense industry, where weight reduction and improved durability are required, because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it offers various advantages, such as precise dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and smooth surfaces, contributing to improved fatigue strength and corrosion resistance.

Examples of materials utilized in the aerospace and defense industry

  • Titanium Alloys

    Titanium alloy is a metallic material that combines light weight, high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. It has higher specific strength than iron or aluminum, making it suitable for reducing the weight of airframes and improving fuel efficiency. In the aerospace and defense fields, titanium alloy is widely used mainly for airframe structural parts and jet engine parts. It also has excellent fatigue resistance and biocompatibility, enabling stable performance in harsh environments such as the skies above and in space.

  • Nickel-based superalloys (Inconel, Hastelloy, etc.)

    Nickel-based superalloys are alloys with excellent strength, oxidation resistance, and creep resistance even in high-temperature environments. In the aerospace and defense fields, nickel-based superalloys are used in jet engine turbine blades, combustion chambers, and other parts that are used in extremely high temperature, high pressure, and harsh environments. It maintains its shape and strength even under high temperatures and can withstand prolonged operation, making it ideal for parts for which reliability is required.

  • CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)

    CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a composite material combining carbon fiber and resin, characterized by its light weight and high strength. It has higher specific strength and specific rigidity than metal, and is widely used in aircraft and spacecraft airframe structures, wings, and interior parts. It also has excellent corrosion resistance and fatigue strength, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs. It has a high degree of freedom in molding and can be used for parts with complex shapes.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Aerospace and Defense Component Manufacturing

Ability to manufacture products with high-precision processing machines

In the aerospace and defense fields, where machining accuracy and form accuracy on the micron level are required, the introduction of the latest high-precision machine tools, such as 5-axis machining centers and highly rigid CNC lathes, is essential. In addition, special jigs, clamping devices, and other equipment are also necessary for stable machining of parts with complex shapes. By preparing an appropriate facility environment, it is important to establish a system for stable supply of high-quality products through quality control and inspection after machining as well as high-precision machining.

Compliance with ISO 9001 and other aerospace standards

Since safety and reliability are important in the manufacture of aerospace and defense components, it is essential to establish a highly accurate and stable quality control system. In particular, conformance to quality management system standards for the aerospace industry, such as the international standard "AS 9001" and the Japanese "JISQ 9001" is required. These standards are intended to ensure strict control of each process from component design to manufacturing, inspection, and shipment, and mandate traceability, prevention of outflow of non-conforming products, and continuous improvement activities.

Selecting the appropriate material for each component.

Components in the aerospace and defense field are often used in harsh environments, so appropriate materials must be selected for each component. For example, titanium alloys, nickel-based superalloys, and CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) are widely used when they are required to withstand high temperatures, high pressure, vibration, and corrosion. In addition to mechanical properties, long-term durability and traceability are also important in material selection. Using certified materials that comply with aerospace standards will ensure safety and reliability.
