Michigan’s aerospace sector supports both commercial aviation and defense contractors, requiring materials that perform under extreme stress. Centerless ground bars are a core material for this industry, delivering tight tolerances, superior surface finish, and excellent straightness. From actuator shafts to turbine components, they ensure safety and reliability in every flight.
Why Aerospace Relies on Centerless Ground Bars
Aerospace parts must withstand vibration, high temperatures, and heavy loads. Centerless grinding ensures bar stock has:
Consistent Diameters – reducing vibration and ensuring precise fit.
Exceptional Straightness – critical for rotating and sliding parts.
Superior Surface Finish – extending component lifespan.
Tight Tolerances – minimizing secondary machining.
Aerospace Components Made from Precision Ground Bars
In Michigan, aerospace manufacturers use centerless ground bars for:
Actuator Shafts – smooth movement in flight control systems.
Landing Gear Components – high-strength parts that support heavy aircraft loads.
Turbine & Engine Components – requiring heat and fatigue resistance.
Pins, Bushings, and Fasteners – small but essential parts for flight safety.
Common Materials for Aerospace Bar Stock
Titanium Alloys – lightweight and durable for airframe structures.
Inconel & Nickel Alloys – high heat resistance for turbines.
Maraging 300 Steel – ultra-high strength for shafts and tooling.
Stainless Steels (15-5 PH, 17-4 PH) – corrosion-resistant, widely used in aerospace.
Alloy Steels (4340, 9310) – known for fatigue resistance and toughness.
