Aerospace & Defense

Flight hardware you can trace to the melt lot.

Q: Is PifyC ITAR registered?

Yes. PifyC is registered with the U.S. State Department under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) for defense-related manufacturing. We operate controlled-access workflows for ITAR-classified projects, with segregated data handling and need-to-know personnel protocols.

Q: Do you follow AS9100 quality processes?

We operate under AS9100-aligned workflows throughout our aerospace projects, including configuration management, first-article inspection (FAI) per AS9102, non-conformance tracking, corrective action procedures, and supplier quality monitoring. Full AS9100D certification audit-ready on request.

Q: What aerospace materials do you work with?

Aluminum: 6061-T6, 7075-T6, 2024-T3, 7050-T7451. Titanium: Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI). Superalloys: Inconel 625, Inconel 718, Hastelloy. Stainless: 15-5 PH, 17-4 PH, PH 13-8 Mo. All with EN 10204 3.1 mill certificates and lot-level traceability.

Q: Can you provide FAI reports per AS9102?

Yes. First Article Inspection reports conforming to AS9102 Rev B format, including Forms 1, 2 and 3, bubble-drawings, measured values, material verification, and special process certifications, are standard on aerospace orders. CMM-generated dimensional reports with deviation maps included.

Q: Do you have experience with flight-critical parts?

Yes. Our parts have been qualified into flight-critical subsystems including UAV airframes, satellite optical structures, rocket propulsion test articles, fuel system components, and flight control brackets. Reference customers available on request after NDA.

Q: What special processes does PifyC support for aerospace?

Heat treatment (solution, aging, stress relief) per AMS specifications through certified partners. Chemical conversion coatings (Type I/II anodize per MIL-A-8625, chromate conversion per MIL-DTL-5541). NDT inspection (dye penetrant, magnetic particle, X-ray) through NADCAP-approved partners. Anodized finishes to AAMA 611 standards.

Q: How do you protect sensitive aerospace IP?

Mutual NDAs signed before CAD review on request. ITAR-classified projects use segregated data systems with access restricted to cleared U.S.-vetted personnel via our US liaison. All CAD data encrypted at rest and in transit. Customer IP and tooling remain exclusively the customer's property.

ITAR-registered. AS9100 workflow. Full material traceability via EN 10204 3.1 mill certs. Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718, Al 7075 and more — 5-axis machined, CMM-verified, FAI-documented.
