Material with a mission - Why aluminum is indispensable in aviation

There are materials that fly with you. And others that make flight possible in the first place. Aluminum undoubtedly belongs to the second category. Hardly any other material has shaped modern aviation so much - not through its size, but through its invisible but supporting role in thousands of components.

At KAISER Aluminium-Umformtechnik, we use it to manufacture precision components that don't stand out - but have to work. Always. And that is precisely where their value lies.

Lightweight. Resilient. Malleable. Why aluminum?

Aluminum combines seemingly opposites:

• Lightness with high strength
• Corrosion resistance with a long service life
• Machinability with structural integrity

In aviation, these properties are not just important - they are fundamental. Because in the cabin and cargo area, grams and millimetres determine system performance, energy efficiency and safety.

Precision that begins in the detail

Our aluminum components can be found in:

• Flap locks
  
  
• Interior hinges
  
  
• Lightweight bearings
  
  
• Seat system connections
  
  
• Cargo locking units
  
  

They are not large components - but the silent players that enable movements, secure positions and connect components. KAISER concentrates specifically on components with a production weight of up to maximal 6 Kilogramm, speziell für den Einsatz im Interior- und Cargobereich von Flugzeugen.

From blank to precision component - our path

What sets us apart is not just the material, but the controlled transformation:
From the forged blank to the final surface, we supply components that meet aviation standards - and are suitable for series production, repeatable and durable.

We do not think in terms of individual parts, but in terms of functions. For us, a component is successful when it remains invisible in the system - because it functions perfectly.

Conclusion: aluminum is not a trend - but a promise

Precision is not a requirement in aviation. It is a prerequisite.
Aluminum provides the basis - KAISER the component.
