Aerospace & Defence Castings
Maybrey has supplied aerospace and defence castings since the Air Registration Board first approved our foundry in 1936. No other UK foundry holds a longer unbroken certification record. For Tier 1 and Tier 2 aerospace buyers and defence contractors, that track record is not a detail: it is the foundation of a supply relationship that can be relied upon.
Certifications
AS9100 Rev D
Aerospace quality management system, unbroken since 1936. Covers aluminium sand and gravity die castings.
ISO 9001:2015

Casting Capability for Aerospace
Sand casting
Aluminium alloys and copper-based alloys up to 250 kg. Full range of aerospace specification alloys.
Gravity die casting
Aluminium alloys to 25 kg. Commercial grades through class one aerospace alloys.
Traceability
Full material traceability from melt to delivery. Three spectrograph machines covering ferrous and non-ferrous.
NADCAP Approved Processes
All destructive tensile tests and non-destructive tests are performed by NADCAP-approved suppliers:
- HIPping (Hot Isostatic Pressing): eliminates internal porosity in safety-critical castings
- X-ray: internal inspection of aluminium and ferrous castings
- NDT (Non-Destructive Testing)
- Dye penetrant testing
Machining and Post-Process
We supply many aerospace castings fully machined from our in-house CNC and conventional machine shop. Heat treatment is available in-house. This reduces your supply chain to a single trusted point of contact and simplifies traceability.
A Note on Confidentiality
We are proud of our aerospace and defence relationships, many of which span 25 years or more. In line with customer requirements, we do not name aerospace or defence clients in public communications. Capability evidence and reference documentation are available under NDA on request.
We can take your casting through to finished component: machined, coated, tested, and ready to fit.
