Aerospace / Aircraft Seating System
Alu-Alloys in the Aerospace Industry
Aluminum is a lightweight and strong material that has a long history of use in the aerospace industry due to its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and durability. Aerospace seating systems are no exception, and aircraft aluminum tubing offers ideal solutions for designing and manufacturing aircraft seating systems.
Weight, strength, and durability are critical factors in aerospace design. Reducing weight can result in significant fuel savings and improved efficiency. By using aircraft aluminum tubing in the seating system, designers can reduce the overall weight of the aircraft, allowing for increased fuel efficiency and a reduced environmental impact.
Aluminum’s excellent strength and stiffness make it an ideal material for use in aircraft seating systems that must withstand significant stress and loads. Additionally, aluminum offers excellent corrosion resistance. Aircraft are often exposed to harsh environments, including high humidity and temperature changes. Aluminum’s natural resistance to corrosion makes it an ideal material for use in these conditions, ensuring the longevity and durability of the seating system.
The Most Suitable Aluminum Alloy for Aircraft Seating System & Aircraft Aluminum Tubing
There is a broad range of types of aluminum alloys to choose from, and it is important to select the alloy with properties that are best suited for airplane seating systems and aircraft aluminum tubing.
The most widely used aluminum alloys in aerospace seating systems are 2024-T3, 6061-T6, and 7075-T6.
2024-T3 offers high strength and excellent fatigue resistance, making it ideal for providing long-term durability in items subjected to cyclic loading. It is highly formable and easy to machine, allowing for the creation of complex shapes and designs.
6061-T6 is a medium-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy that is often used for non-structural components such as seat armrests and tray tables. It is also highly formable and can be easily extruded, formed, and welded, making it well-suited for creating customized seating solutions that meet the unique needs of aircraft and passengers.
7075-T6 has exceptionally high strength and stiffness and is commonly used for critical structural components requiring high stress and load-bearing capabilities.

Why choose AMSpec for Your Aircraft Aluminum Tubing Needs
AMSpec is a highly praised manufacturer of aircraft aluminum tubing by both domestic and foreign partners due to our highly stable products and lean processing technology. Our goal is to work together with our customers to choose the best product design and ideal alloy selection to provide the highest-quality aircraft aluminum tubing and aerospace-grade products.
For the past 20 years, AMSpec has been developing and manufacturing high-quality aluminum alloy products with a focus on extrusion and post-processing of high-strength aluminum alloys. Our in-house processing includes extruding, pressing, drawing, heat treatment, CNC machining, and more. After accepting a commission from one customer to evaluate the 6063 aircraft motor housing, in 2019 AMSpec received AS9100D certification. We also received more inquiries from the aviation industry for 7075, 7050, and 6082 seamless pipes. We are currently developing durable and efficient seating systems and aircraft aluminum tubing for the aerospace market.
Aside from meeting the specifications and requirements of the aerospace industry, AMSpec has gradually shifted its research from static performance testing to more important SCC and fatigue-related environmental and dynamic performance testing. This includes corrosion protection of raw materials and possible effects of the elements on product surfaces during moving or dwell phases.
If you need aircraft aluminum tubing, or no matter what your aerospace aluminum alloy extrusion needs may be, we welcome you to contact AMSpec to find your ideal solutions.
