Aerospace
Copper, aluminium and precision metal components supplied for aerospace, aviation and specialist engineering applications.
Aerospace Metal Supply and Components
ILF Ltd supports aerospace and aviation supply chains with copper, aluminium and specialist metal products for demanding technical applications.
Our team can help with material sourcing, copper and aluminium busbars, extrusions, connectors, machined components and finishing services.
Aerospace projects often require materials that balance strength, weight, conductivity, corrosion resistance and reliability. ILF can support these requirements through practical material advice and manufacturing capability.
What Metals are Used in Aerospace Applications?
Aerospace applications use different metals depending on the performance required.
Copper is commonly used where electrical conductivity and reliable current transfer are important. Aluminium is widely used where low weight, strength and corrosion resistance matter. Brass, bronze and stainless steel can also support specialist components, fittings and engineered parts.
