AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
From commercial aviation to aerospace engineering, the materials we supply play a crucial role in the manufacturing of components that require strength, lightweight properties and reliability. Our range of advanced alloys, including aluminium and high-strength stainless steel, ensures that aerospace manufacturers have access to the highest quality materials for their critical applications.
​
In the aerospace industry, every component must meet exacting performance standards, balancing strength, weight and durability. P&P Bornmore Metals specialise in processing our customer’s free-issue materials. And we recently processed titanium bars and sheets for the production of aerospace components such as engine parts, landing gear and structural supports. Titanium is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice for critical applications in both commercial and military aircraft.
​
Additionally, we supplied high-strength stainless steel bars for landing gear assemblies, providing the necessary tensile strength and fatigue resistance to ensure safe and reliable operations under heavy loads.
​
Lightweight Alloys for Fuel Efficiency
One of the key goals in modern aerospace design is to reduce weight without compromising on strength or safety. Aluminium alloys are integral to achieving this objective, as they offer an excellent balance of lightweight properties and structural integrity. P&P Bornmore Metals regularly supplies aerospace-grade aluminium sheets for the construction of aircraft fuselages, wings, and other structural components.
In a recent project, we provided aluminium sheets for a manufacturer of commercial aircraft. These sheets were used to create lightweight, corrosion-resistant panels for the fuselage, contributing to the overall fuel efficiency of the aircraft. By reducing the weight of the aircraft, our aluminium helped to optimise fuel consumption, which is a critical factor in the commercial aviation sector.

Specialist Alloys for Aerospace Engineering
Beyond aircraft, the aerospace sector also includes the design and production of spacecraft, satellites and other aerospace vehicles that require unique materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions. For these applications, P&P Bornmore Metals supplies high-performance alloys such as Inconel and other superalloys, which are used in high-temperature environments such as rocket engines and exhaust systems.
​
For example, we supplied Inconel 718 bars for the manufacturing of a rocket engine component. Inconel’s ability to perform in temperatures exceeding 1,000°C, along with its excellent resistance to thermal expansion and oxidation, made it the perfect choice for this high-stakes application. The quality and reliability of our materials played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and success of the mission.
​
Aerospace projects often involve tight timelines and high-budget commitments. P&P Bornmore Metals is committed to providing timely, reliable deliveries to keep production on schedule. We maintain an extensive inventory of aerospace-grade metal bars and sheets, ensuring that manufacturers have quick access to the materials they need, when they need them.
Our commitment to fast, reliable service, coupled with our high-quality materials, makes us a trusted partner for aerospace manufacturers around the world. We understand the importance of meeting deadlines in this highly competitive industry, and our logistics team works hard to ensure on-time delivery to avoid delays in production.
