Commercial Flight

Q: Is MetalTek AS9100 certified?

Yes. MetalTek is AS9100D certified and follows established quality management practices that promote process reliability, material traceability, documentation control, and continuous improvement. These capabilities help support the high standards expected throughout commercial flight manufacturing.

Q: Why do commercial flight companies choose MetalTek?

Product quality is achieved through disciplined control at every stage of manufacturing. MetalTek employs certified processes, rigorous material management, structured inspection procedures, and comprehensive traceability systems that track each component from incoming raw materials to the completed part.

Critical Metal Components For Space Exploration

Commercial aviation demands components that perform reliably under intense thermal, mechanical, and operational stresses. With decades of experience serving aerospace manufacturers, MetalTek produces engineered castings for applications ranging from turbine engine hardware and landing gear components to forming mandrels and other critical flight systems where durability and performance are essential.

To support a wide variety of aerospace requirements, MetalTek offers centrifugal casting, investment casting, and sand casting, along with access to a comprehensive portfolio of engineered alloys. Because no two applications are exactly alike, our team evaluates operating environments, performance targets, material requirements, and manufacturing considerations to help determine the most effective solution for each project.

Supporting these capabilities is a strong commitment to quality. MetalTek holds certifications and accreditations including Nadcap, AS9100, ISO 9001:2015, and numerous specialized industry certifications. Combined with extensive metallurgical expertise and decades of manufacturing experience, these qualifications help aerospace customers address challenging design requirements, improve reliability, and achieve demanding performance objectives.

Whether you are developing a new component or evaluating alternatives to an existing design, MetalTek can help. Contact our team, connect with a Key Account Manager, or schedule a TekSession to discuss your application and explore potential manufacturing solutions.
