In addition to standard aerospace alloys, Verdict Aerospace has considerable experience in machining high specification alloys. Verdict is one of only a very few organisations who is licenced to machine aluminium beryllium which is becoming more applicable for today’s demanding aerospace application requirements, particularly for achieving lighter weight and higher thermal stability.

Aluminium alloy ABS5032, ABM3-1029, ABM3-1030, L97, 6082, etc.
There is growing need in both Aerospace and commercial markets for lighter weight, higher stiffness, higher thermal stability material to solve the design engineers’ problems of reduced mass, higher access speeds, improved mechanical and thermal stability for today’s advanced technology.
The materials properties of aluminium beryllium that make it attractive for the design engineer are a density that is 25% less than that of aluminium.
• Specific stiffness four times those of aluminium, titanium, steel and magnesium.
• A higher dampening expansion almost 50% lower than aluminium.
