Aluminium has been the main material used in the construction of aircraft and spacecraft for many decades. With high strength at low weight and good corrosion resistance, aluminum achieves top performance in structural components for the aircraft fuselage and the wings of modern aircraft. Coupled with excellent recyclability, this material will continue to play a main role in the future. AMAG components has specialized in the machining of complex aluminum structural components for several decades. In addition to the challenges in processing, the use of materials and thus the best possible use of materials (buy-to-fly ratio) and an optimized value chain play a key role. Plates, forged parts, profiles, rods and cast parts made of aluminum are used as input material.

AMAG components relies on the most efficient process sequences and a modern and powerful plant with 3/4/5-axis machining options, some of which has been specially adapted for the application. Complex component geometries and large dimensions are the specialty. AMAG components processes parts up to a length of seven meters.

The parts are processed in Germany (overseas, Karlsruhe).

AMAG components is integrated into the value-added process from the primary material aluminum (primary aluminium, alloy metals, aluminum scrap) to the ready-to-install component. Thanks to many years of experience as a qualified producer of semi-finished products, AMAG is the preferred supplier of high-quality aluminum aerospace materials for the major aircraft manufacturers. The provision of contour-sawn plates from Ranshofen leads to a significantly reduced use of materials and enables the AMAG foundry to use the solid scrap directly. Likewise, the aluminum chips produced during mechanical processing at AMAG components are returned separately according to alloys and can therefore be recycled back into high-quality rolled products. By closing this material cycle (closed loop), the AMAG Group is contributing to a reduction in the buy-to-fly ratio and a reduced CO₂ footprint.
