Brian Fasteners produces and provides a wide variety of Aluminium Forgings from its facility in Houston for structural, industrial, and aerospace usage. We provide high-purity and alloy grades, precision-machined to close tolerances and ASTM certified. Our forges are available with custom sizes and shapes with improved material properties including strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Every forging is strictly quality checked for dependability in harsh conditions. With speedy delivery and metallurgical services, Brian Fasteners is the go-to partner for forged aluminum products in automotive, marine, construction, and equipment manufacturing industries.
General aluminum forgings come in grades from commercial-purity (e.g., 1100) to high-strength alloys (e.g., 7075). Tensile strength ranges from ~100 MPa to more than 560 MPa (for 7075), with corresponding yield strengths up to ~500 MPa. The materials are non-heat-treatable (pure grades) or heat-treatable alloys with improved performance. They have excellent corrosion resistance, fatigue life, and formability. All forgings have good weldability, machinability, and surface finish, appropriate for structural and load-bearing applications.

Yes, aluminium forgings can be shaped into custom designs using advanced forging techniques. Their excellent malleability and strength make them ideal for creating complex and precise shapes for various applications.
The ideal temperature range for aluminium forgings typically falls between 350°C to 520°C, depending on the alloy. This range ensures optimal malleability and prevents cracking during the forging process.
The forging process for aluminium typically takes a few minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity, size, and alloy type, along with required pre-heating and cooling times.
Aluminium forgings are applied in aerospace fittings, vehicle parts, marine hardware, machinery components, and structural connections. They’re well suited for heavy-load usage such as crankshafts, gears, connecting rods, and hydraulic blocks. Marine and offshore industries apply them in brackets, pads, and marine fittings. Automotive and industrial equipment apply them in forged linkages, supports, and housings. Brian Fasteners provides bespoke forged aluminum components designed to withstand harsh environments and manufactured according to client specifications.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
