Precision Blasting for Aerospace and Defence Components
In the aerospace and defence sectors, reliability starts with the surface.
Every component – from turbine blades to landing gear – must meet uncompromising standards of accuracy and performance. Achieving that reliability begins with precision surface preparation. At Airblast Limited, we deliver precision blasting solutions designed specifically for the aerospace and defence industries. Our technology and expertise ensure every surface is prepared to exact specifications, supporting safety, durability, and compliance with the most demanding standards.
A proven heritage in aerospace surface preparation
For over three decades, Airblast has produced surface preparation and finishing facilities for both civil and defence aviation sectors. This heritage places us at the forefront of our field. Our experienced engineers and technical specialists understand the complexity of aerospace supply chains and have designed some of the largest and most advanced preparation and finishing buildings for leading global aerospace organisations.
Meeting stringent industry standards
Aerospace and defence manufacturing requires strict adherence to industry standards.
Airblast’s blasting systems are engineered to meet these requirements – delivering consistent, repeatable finishes that ensure coating adhesion, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity.
Key considerations include:
- Maintaining the correct surface profile to support coating adhesion and component integrity.
- Controlling environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity to prevent oxidisation and defects.
- Ensuring efficient dust and media removal to maintain surface cleanliness and safety.
Whether you require aerospace component cleaning, defence blasting solutions, or military equipment preparation, Airblast provides the precision and control needed to meet exacting tolerances and safety demands.
Advanced equipment for high-precision work
Our range of blast rooms, cabinets, and automated systems gives operators precise control over pressure, media flow, and surface finish. From bespoke blast rooms to large-scale hangar installations, our equipment allows safe, accurate work on both delicate and heavy-duty components.
Typical aerospace and defence applications include:
- Surface preparation for coating, bonding, and inspection
- Military equipment blasting to remove corrosion or coatings
- Component refurbishment to extend service life
- Precision cleaning prior to testing or assembly
Each process delivers a clean, uniform finish – reducing the risk of defects and ensuring compliance with both client and industry standards.
