Aerospace CNC Machining Services

XC Machining makes aerospace CNC parts for US buyers, shipped from Dongguan, China. We cut structural brackets, airframe components, engine mounts, hydraulic manifolds and avionics housings. Materials include titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), aluminum 7075-T6, Inconel 718, stainless steel 316L and PEEK. Our 5 axis CNC machining holds ±0.005 mm. We hold ISO 9001:2015, return a DFM review within 12 hours and ship parts in 3 to 15 business days.

From Prototyping to Production

Prototyping

Test early aerospace designs on prototypes cut from production-grade metals and plastics. You check fit and function before you commit to a larger batch.

Engineering Validation and Testing

Run engineering builds to confirm that the design meets its load and weight targets. We return DFM notes within 12 hours of your STEP upload.

Design Validation and Testing

Confirm the final design on parts made from the same alloy and process as production. A CMM report on critical dimensions supports your review.

Production Validation and Testing

Prove the process on a pilot lot before you order volume. Lot numbers tie each part to its material certificate.

Mass Production

Move proven parts to repeat orders. Every batch ships with a dimensional report, and material records stay on file for 3 years.

Surface Finishes for Aerospace Parts

Pick a finish to improve durability and performance. Our surface finishing page covers each option.

Brushing

Abrasive pads or brushes add a linear or circular pattern. It works best on stainless steel.

Black Oxide Coating

This dark coating suits steel and iron. It adds wear resistance and improves lubricity.

Passivation

Passivation removes iron impurities from stainless steel and forms a protective oxide layer. It improves corrosion resistance.

Painting

Paint adds color and corrosion protection to metals, polymers and other materials.

Polishing

Buffing wheels or polishing chemicals raise shine and smoothness for a mirror-like metal surface.

Alodine Coating

Alodine, also called chromate conversion coating, protects aluminum. It also makes a strong base for paint or powder coating.

As-Machined

The part ships with no added finish. Light tool marks from the cutting process remain.

Anodizing

Anodizing builds a protective oxide layer on aluminum. It adds corrosion resistance and offers color options.

Powder Coating

Powder is applied by electrostatic spray and then cured. The coat resists impact, solvents and UV light.

Aerospace CNC Machining FAQs

What tolerance does XC Machining hold for aerospace CNC machined parts?

Our standard tolerance is ±0.125 mm, down to ±0.005 mm on tight 5 axis machined features. Critical fits, bearing bores and sealing faces can reach ±0.002 mm when the 2D drawing calls it out, and grinding or honing may be added. Surface roughness is Ra 0.8 μm, or Ra 0.2 μm on sealing faces. A CMM report covers each batch.

What materials does XC Machining machine for aerospace applications?

We machine titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), aluminum 7075-T6 and 2024-T3, Inconel 718, stainless steel 316L, steel 4340, PEEK and ULTEM PEI. AMS and ASTM material certificates come with each batch. Ask for the full list of alloys and tempers when you send the drawing, and we will confirm what we hold in stock.

What is the lead time for aerospace CNC machined parts?

Simple brackets and enclosures in 3 axis aluminum take 3 to 7 business days. Complex 5 axis parts in titanium Grade 5 or Inconel 718 take 7 to 15 business days. That includes DFM review, fixturing, machining, CMM inspection and surface treatment. Rush delivery of urgent 5 axis titanium parts takes 5 to 7 business days.

Does XC Machining provide material traceability for aerospace parts?

Yes. Every aerospace batch is traceable by lot number to a mill certificate. The certificate confirms alloy chemistry, heat treatment, tensile strength, yield strength and elongation. We provide AMS and ASTM certificates with each shipment on request. Material records stay on file for 3 years.

Is XC Machining ISO certified for aerospace parts manufacturing?

XC Machining holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. It covers process control, documentation, first article inspection, in-process inspection, dimensional reporting, material traceability and corrective action. We do not hold AS9100D. If your program requires it, say so at the quoting stage. All aerospace orders follow ISO 9001:2015 procedures as the quality baseline.
