Our Capabilities

Hydroforming aerospace metal components allows us to work with various specialty materials to create parts ranging from nose cones and cowls to components for potable water tanks. Hydroforming allows for the production of complex parts with minimal surface imperfections, reducing the need for additional finishing and lowering overall costs. With hydroforming, we can form complex shapes and angles with minimal thin-out to maintain precise tolerances from a variety of metals.

Since no dies or cast plastics are necessary for prototyping and the finished product already comes with a high-quality surface finish, hydroforming eliminates the costs associated with traditional metal forming and surface finishing for aerospace parts.

In the aerospace industry, pressurized containers are used to hold various materials, including liquid oxygen, fire-suppressant foams, and liquid fuel. Whether the pressurized containers are found on airplanes or vehicles bound for outer space, Jones Metal Products understands how crucial it is for pressurized containers to be made according to stringent guidelines.

We deliver high-quality pressurized containers for airplanes and the aerospace industry through hydroforming, which allows us to provide pieces made from unique specialty materials with extremely minimal surface imperfections that meet firm specifications. Ensuring a smooth, scratch-free surface is critical because scratches or other surface flaws can jeopardize the integrity of the pressurized vessel.

We have spent years perfecting the creation process of pressurized containers. Whether your company needs pressurized containers for airplanes or aerospace use, we can help you produce precision-made pressurized containers that meet high standards across the board.

Heat treating is crucial for enhancing the strength and fatigue life of metal aerospace components. It involves applying heat or cold to alter the metallurgical properties without changing the part shape.

Jones Metal offers in-house, NADCAP-approved aerospace heat treating services, including annealing for aluminum parts. This allows components to go directly from forming to heat treatment. We have over a decade of experience in aerospace heat treating for parts such as airplane engine brackets, aircraft engine oil pans, helicopter frame parts, hydraulic fittings, airplane engine cooling systems, and airliner seat backs.

Our aluminum heat treating and vacuum heat treating operations meet stringent aerospace standards like AS9100, ISO 9001, and ITAR registration. We can heat treat multiple materials using various methods to meet the demanding needs of the aerospace industry.

We have gained aluminum heating approvals from Goodrich, Gentz, Lockheed Martin, and Honeywell. Our vacuum heat treating operations have earned approvals from Rolls Royce (certification), Arde, Berkshire, Barnes, Goodrich, Honeywell, Cessna, Gulfstream, and Doncaster (Meco and GCE).

Jones Metal Products is a trusted helicopter parts manufacturer. Whether you need a metal part or a composite one, our skilled team walks you through planning, designing, and fabricating the specific helicopter parts you need. We can even help you recreate older helicopter parts originating from discontinued runs while keeping in line with our high standards of quality and consistent production.

The processes we use in our high-quality helicopter parts manufacturing include but are not limited to:

  • Heat treating
  • Hydroforming
  • Rubber pad forming
  • Stretch forming

Rubber pad forming is an aerospace component manufacturing process that starts with a form block. We machine the form block according to each customer’s needs, and the manufacturing process continues with hydraulic pressure.

At the end of the process, the aerospace metal component is removed and inspected. This aerospace parts manufacturing process is an excellent option for customers interested in prototypes or trying new designs without expensive steel tools.

The rubber pad forming method is best suited for aluminum, but it also can be used with many thin specialty metal blanks, including titanium and Haynes 230 and 304 stainless steel.

Jones Metal also works with FAA airplane repair station customers to create short runs of rubber pad-formed parts. Hardened services are also required for these parts. Our NADCAP-approved in-house heat treatment department allows us to harden parts to the required T4 or T6.

Jones Metal is trusted by air repair stations to manufacture aircraft replacement parts that meet the unique specifications and high-quality levels required by FAA regulations.

Our hydroforming method of metal forming can deliver legacy parts and is less expensive than metal stamping. We can form parts using hydroforming, fluid cell forming, rubber pad forming, or heat treatment processes, all in-house, to help air repair stations save on costs, development, and delivery times.

We have years of experience in hydroforming, plus NADCAP-approved aluminum heat treating and vacuum heat treating services. Since we are a supplier to FAA-certified and military air repair stations, our processes meet all the standards set forth by the FAA. We also ensure quality standards are maintained by undergoing in-house and external audits.

Jones Metal Products specializes in stretch forming for aerospace parts. Stretch forming is a process that allows our engineers more precise shape control, structural integrity, and overall surface quality in the aerospace metal parts being created due to our specific process that stretches the metal.

The maximum size of any part we can stretch is 72″ long, 27″ wide, and 5.5″ deep. This particular aerospace component manufacturing process involves a piece of sheet metal bent and stretched over a die to create large aerospace metal parts. We use different techniques depending on the overall application, which ranges from hydroforming to cold forming.

Our team can stretch form parts with various metals, including stainless steel, titanium, clad metals, brass, and copper, as well as alloys like Inconel, Hastelloy, nickel, and cobalt.

Aircraft floor panels, as slight as they may seem in the grand scheme of an aircraft, play an important role in the construction and operation of an aircraft. From the aircraft floor panel material to the way they are made, aircraft floor panels must be crafted with precision.

As an aircraft floor panel manufacturer, our experienced team of engineers, designers, and technicians is here to manufacture high-quality aircraft floor panels.

Since aircraft floor panels have to withstand high pressure in aircraft, they are typically manufactured with a honeycomb structure. Hydroforming allows our team to design and manufacture complex shapes and parts that align with the necessary structure for these panels.

Aircraft floor panel materials that we can use in hydroforming include but are not limited to:

  • Aluminum
  • Brass
  • Carbon steel
  • Clad metals
  • Cobalt
  • Copper
  • Galvanized
  • Inconel
