Our Expertise in Aerospace Parts Manufacturing

Machining (Turned and Milled Parts)

The professional solution for aviation and space

When high precision, low tolerances and complicated forms are required, then metal-cutting production involving turning, milling and drilling is often to be recommended. Bossard Aerospace supplies a wide range of turned and milled parts for all common materials, batch sizes, dimensions and surface treatments for the perfect interaction of your products.

Materials:

  • All machinable steels
  • Non-ferrous metals and plastic
  • Stainless steels
  • Many special-purpose steels

Formed Parts

Economic processing at consistent quality

Formed parts are characterized by high material utilization, short production times and increased strength, and they are also particularly cost-effective. Material, drive style, manufacturing tolerances and other comparable requirements dictate whether a specialty item can be produced by either cold forming or hot forging.

Hot forged parts materials:

  • All established steels including stainless steels
  • Special purpose materials such as e.g. nymonic on request

Cold formed parts materials:

  • All established steels including stainless steels
  • Aluminum, brass
  • Special-purpose steel and titanium on request

Mechanical Finishing and Functional Coatings

Mechanical Finishing Treatment

Lots of different metal parts with mechanical finishing treatment on white background

Mechanical reworking of catalog or standard elements are often the fastest and most cost-effective solution for small and medium quantities. Examples include:

  • Shortening
  • Thread-cutting
  • Drilling of fastening and split-pin holes
  • Turning of thin shanks and grooves

Other Custom Services

Assemblies

Procure fully assembled and tested assemblies in your desired packaging – from simple mini-assemblies to electro-mechanical units. This allows you to eliminate process steps and focus on your specific know-how in the final assembly.

Mounting and Accessory Kits

In addition to assemblies, we also make kits. We supply you with kits of the most varied components, accurately counted, neatly packed and labeled, or printed according to your specifications.

An assembly of a slider, consisting of three component parts
Example of a more complex assembly made up of 16 components
A pull button assembly, made up of 7 component parts
An accessory kit with 20 components in a light pink bag
Mounting kit in a light blue bag, made up of 24 components in different variants
A large blue plastic box containing different mounting sets and accessory kits
