Aerospace & Aircraft Aluminum Extrusions

Aluminum extrusions are widely used across industries for their combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and light weight. In aerospace applications, these properties are especially valuable, where every component must balance performance and weight without compromising durability. From aircraft structures to support systems, aerospace aluminum extrusions provide dependable performance in high-demand environments.

Since 1985, Continental Steel & Tube has supplied a broad range of aluminum extrusions in multiple alloys, tempers, and shapes, all meeting strict AMS standards. Specializing in hard-to-find metals and fast delivery capabilities, we remain a trusted partner to aerospace manufacturers worldwide.
