Aerospace Parts Manufacturing
We make strong, precise metal parts for planes, engines, and satellites. One trusted partner takes you from your first sample all the way to full production.
What Is Aerospace Parts Manufacturing?
It means making the metal parts that go into planes, engines, and spacecraft. These parts have to be exact and very strong, because they carry heavy loads and can never fail while in the air.
Meco builds these parts using CNC machining, casting, and forging. Every part comes with full paperwork that proves it was made the right way and checked at each step, so your team can trust it and pass every audit.
Why Meco Is the Right Choice
Picking an aerospace supplier is a big decision, and a wrong choice is costly. Here is why engineering and buying teams trust Meco to get it right the first time.

Parts for Every Part of the Aircraft
From the frame of the plane to the hardware on a satellite, we make parts for every major system.
Airframe & Structure
Brackets, ribs, and fittings that hold the plane together and carry its main loads.
Engine Parts
Blades, vanes, and housings built to handle high heat and pressure.
Avionics Boxes
Metal cases that protect the electronics and block interference.
Landing Gear
Tough, heat-treated parts that take the shock when a plane lands.
Space & Satellites
Extra-light parts with special finishes built to work in space.
Defense Systems
Secure parts made with controlled materials and full tracking.
Aerospace-Grade Alloys and Why They Matter
Material selection in aerospace is a trade-off between weight, strength, temperature tolerance, and fatigue life. Meco's engineers help you choose the right alloy for the mission, then control heat treatment and finishing to hit the required properties.
| Alloy | Key Property | Typical Aerospace Use |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum 7075 | Highest-strength aluminum, excellent strength-to-weight | Airframe fittings, wing ribs, high-load brackets |
| Aluminum 2024 | High fatigue resistance | Fuselage skins, tension structures |
| Aluminum 6061 | Weldable, corrosion resistant, versatile | Avionics chassis, heat sinks, seat structures |
| Titanium Ti-6Al-4V | High strength, low density, heat & corrosion resistant | Engine/pylon interfaces, high-load brackets, fasteners |
| Stainless 17-4PH | Precipitation-hardened, high strength & hardness | Landing gear parts, fittings, actuator components |
| Alloy Steel 4340 | High toughness & fatigue strength when heat treated | Landing gear subcomponents, shafts, gears |
| Magnesium AZ91D | Lowest-density structural metal | Mass-critical avionics housings, interior structures |
Every alloy is paired with an appropriate finish for corrosion protection and wear, from anodizing to electroless nickel, and verified with material certs. See our surface finishing services and heat treatment services for the full range.
