Aerospace Castings
KenWalt Die Casting produces strong, lightweight aerospace castings that meet the tight tolerances and exacting aerospace industry standards. We make everything from parts for aircraft engines to private aircraft, and our parts are built for high-altitude, high-performance applications.
Many of our aerospace customers have been with us for 20, 30, 40 years, or more. They know they can rely on our aerospace casting expertise to deliver the quality and consistency their programs demand. Our founder, Ken Sr., got his start in the aerospace industry at Rocketdyne during the early days of space exploration.
Built for Performance and Reliability
Our aerospace castings are designed to meet strict weight, strength, and dimensional requirements. We manufacture structural and internal components for commercial, private, and defense aircraft. These parts must withstand heat, vibration, and pressure without failure.
KenWalt’s team has experience producing parts for:
- Aircraft engines and accessories
- Commercial aircraft systems and support frames
- Private aviation components
- Aerospace housings and sensor enclosures
- Mounts, brackets, and covers for avionics and electronics
- Aircraft cabin interior products
Each part is designed, prototyped, cast, and finished with precision. We use in-house machining and customized vacuum-assisted processes to reduce inherent porosity and ensure long-term performance.
Trusted by the Aerospace Industry
We’ve earned long-term relationships with aerospace clients by delivering quality castings on time and with the correct specifications. Our experienced team understands the documentation, testing, and traceability needed to support regulated flight programs.
Every aerospace casting we produce is backed by:
- In-house engineering review
- Rigorous in-process quality checks
- Less than 1% rejection rate
- Custom tooling and die maintenance
- Optional 100% inspection on request
Materials and Capabilities
We work with aerospace-grade aluminum and zinc alloys selected for their strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. Each casting is produced in our U.S.-based facility using:
- Vacuum-assisted die-casting technology
- Multi-cavity tooling for high-volume efficiency
- Tight tolerance control with in-house machining
- Surface finishing, including anodizing and chem film
Engineering and Prototyping Support
We work with aerospace engineers early in the design process to help reduce development time and improve part performance. Our team reviews geometry, tolerances, and material options to improve castability and lower production costs.
Prototyping support includes:
- Short-run aluminum and zinc castings
- Rapid tooling for test and pre-production parts
- Guidance on design for manufacturability (DFM)
- CNC machining for precise features and final fit
Our thorough and proactive approach helps our customers move quickly from design to production without sacrificing part quality or functionality.
