Titanium is a superstar for aerospace hydraulic systems, and our precision tubes take it to the next level. With a density of about 4500 kg/m³, they’re nearly half the weight of stainless steel (8000 kg/m³), making them a dream for cutting aircraft weight and boosting fuel efficiency. Their tensile strength, ranging from 900 to 1000 MPa, lets them handle high pressures—up to 35 MPa—without leaking or deforming. That’s critical for hydraulic systems controlling flaps, rudders, or landing gear.
Corrosion resistance is another big win. Aerospace hydraulic systems deal with aggressive fluids, moisture, and sometimes salt exposure in coastal or marine environments. Our titanium tubes form a protective oxide layer that shrugs off corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability. They also hold up at temperatures up to 400°C, perfect for systems near engines or other hot zones. Their fatigue resistance means they can take the constant vibrations and cyclic loads of flight without cracking, keeping aircraft safe and operational.
The precision part? That’s about our tight tolerances and seamless construction. Our tubes are manufactured with exacting accuracy, ensuring perfect fit and leak-free performance in complex hydraulic systems. Whether it’s a commercial jet or a military fighter, our tubes deliver the consistency aerospace engineers demand.
Applications in Aerospace Hydraulic Systems
Our precision titanium tubes are the backbone of aerospace hydraulic systems. They’re used in flight control systems, powering actuators for ailerons, elevators, and rudders. In landing gear, they handle the high-pressure fluid that ensures smooth operation. They’re also found in braking systems and thrust reversers, where reliability under pressure is non-negotiable. Their lightweight design helps reduce aircraft weight, improving fuel efficiency and range, which is a big deal for both commercial and military aviation.
Beyond hydraulics, our titanium tubes pop up in other aerospace applications. They’re used in fuel lines, where their corrosion resistance handles aggressive fuels. In engine components, they withstand high temperatures and pressures. Even in space exploration, they’re a go-to for lightweight, durable systems. But for us, aerospace hydraulic systems are where our precision tubes make the biggest impact, delivering strength and reliability at 30,000 feet.

The aerospace industry is in the middle of a transformation, and our precision titanium tubes are riding the wave. The global aerospace materials market is projected to grow from $40 billion in 2023 to $64 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 6.9%. Lightweight materials like titanium are driving this growth, as manufacturers chase fuel efficiency and lower emissions to meet strict regulations and sustainability goals.
Next-gen aircraft, like electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles and hypersonic jets, demand materials that can handle extreme conditions while keeping weight low. Our Grade 2 or Ti-6Al-4V tubes are perfect for these applications, offering the strength and corrosion resistance needed for cutting-edge designs. The rise of additive manufacturing is also a game-changer, letting us produce complex tube geometries with less waste, making titanium more cost-effective for custom aerospace projects.
Sustainability is another big driver. Titanium’s recyclability and long lifespan align with the industry’s push for greener practices. As airlines aim to cut carbon footprints, our lightweight tubes help reduce fuel consumption, making aircraft more eco-friendly. Military aerospace is also leaning into titanium for its durability in harsh environments, from desert heat to icy altitudes.
How We Stand Out
Our precision titanium tubes are a cut above, and it’s all about quality and expertise. We manufacture to ASTM B338 standards, using advanced techniques like seamless extrusion and cold drawing to achieve tight tolerances and flawless surfaces. Every tube is rigorously tested—ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and dimensional checks—to ensure zero defects. Our titanium is sourced from high-purity sponge, guaranteeing consistent performance across every batch.
Customization is our bread and butter. Need a specific diameter, wall thickness, or alloy grade? We tailor every detail to fit your hydraulic system, whether it’s for a commercial airliner or a military drone. Our heat treatment processes, like annealing or stress relieving, optimize the tubes’ strength and corrosion resistance for aerospace demands. And our supply chain is rock-solid, with global sourcing and strict quality control to deliver on time, every time.
Compared to a typical competitor, our tubes offer superior fatigue resistance and tighter tolerances, thanks to our proprietary manufacturing methods. We also deliver faster lead times and more flexible customization, so you’re not stuck waiting or compromising on your design. Our technical team works with you from concept to installation, ensuring your hydraulic system performs flawlessly, whether it’s for a prototype or a full production run.
