New materials and manufacturing technologies continue to shape the aerospace industry, but hard alloy aluminum extrusions remain a fundamental part of aircraft structures.

From seat track and floor systems to cargo handling equipment and structural assemblies, extrusion profiles continue to be specified across commercial, military, and business aviation platforms.

Why?

Because few material solutions offer the same combination of strength, weight efficiency, manufacturability, and availability across such a wide range of aerospace applications.

In our latest blog, we take a closer look at why hard alloy aluminum extrusions continue to play a critical role in modern aircraft structures.

Finding aerospace materials shouldn't require digging through catalogs and spreadsheets.

With thousands of part numbers, specifications, and material options available, locating the right part can sometimes be the biggest challenge.

That's why we've focused on making it easier to search, compare, and find the information you need—whether you're looking for aluminum extrusions, tube, sheet, plate, or bar.

What is the most challenging material or part number you've had to source recently?

“Are you Tiernay Metals?”

It’s a question we get asked often.

The short answer is: no, but there’s a strong connection.

Several members of our leadership team, previously worked at Tiernay Metals and Benjamin Metals and were part of the industry during the transition into the Transtar Metals family.

Tiernay Metals was known as a leader in hard alloy extruded shapes—setting the standard for inventory, program awareness, and customer support in aerospace.

That experience didn’t disappear.

At Aircraft Extrusion, we’ve carried that knowledge forward, focusing on understanding aerospace programs and helping customers find the right material when they need it.

Today, that means giving you direct access to find the parts you need.

Our online database includes 40,000+ extrusion part numbers, all searchable by shape, size, or specification—making it easier than ever to find the right material without the wait.

AOG order? No problem.

At Aircraft Extrusion Co., we do not charge AOG fees on in-stock extrusion products.

If the material is in stock, we'll work to get it shipped as quickly as possible, often the same day, without adding an AOG surcharge to the order.

We believe urgent requirements should be met with responsive service, not additional fees. When customers need material quickly, our focus is on helping them find a solution.

Need material fast? We're ready to help.

Product Spotlight: AND10133-1001

AND10133-1001 is one of the most frequently requested angle profiles in our inventory. While this shape is available in multiple material options, the 2024-T3511 consistently sees the highest demand.

This equal-leg angle is commonly specified across aerospace applications and is cross-referenced by numerous OEM and legacy part numbers.

In aerospace, material availability is only part of the equation. Lead times, secondary processing requirements, documentation, and supplier responsiveness all play a role in keeping projects moving.

That's why we believe an extrusion supplier should do more than simply provide material.

In our latest blog, we discuss how integrated services, responsive support, and supply chain expertise can help minimize downtime and reduce sourcing complexity.
