Making use of our abrasive waterjet cutting services and our milling expertise, Aerospace Alloys, Inc. manufactures custom gas turbine and heat exchanger frames, designed for power generation and HVAC systems in an aircraft. We manufacture our turbine and heat exchanger frames from a choice of materials: Alloy-X, C263, and Alloy 625, and can work with material between 7/8″ and 2″ thick. Once we acquire the base material, we use abrasive waterjet cutting for blanks, and then a milling machining process to achieve the finished part.

Depending upon customer specifications, we can manufacture turbine frames and heat exchanger frames in dimensions up to 28″ x 16″, with a finished weight typically between 20 and 50 lbs. We are able to achieve a finished surface roughness as smooth as RMS 32, and can produce prototypes prior to production runs in order to inspect the integrity of the piece. We serve aerospace industry customers nationally, with delivery times from 6 – 8 weeks.
