How nexAir Supports Aerospace Fabrication with Precision Gas Solutions

In the aerospace sector, failure is not an option. The industry relies on top-shelf talent, welding equipment, and fabrication processes to create aircraft and spacecraft that meet the strictest standards. In this high-stakes environment, the role of the gas supplier is crucial. At nexAir, we combine decades of KnowHow with cutting‑edge solutions to help manufacturers meet the most exacting standards. In this article, we’ll show you how we help the industry soar to new heights.

Diverse Gases for a Range of Processes

Aerospace welding and fabrication rely on a wide spectrum of gases, each playing a unique role in ensuring structural integrity, purity, and performance.

Shielding and Inert Gases: nexAir supplies ultra‑high purity argon, nitrogen, and custom inert blends that maintain pristine weld environments, reduce oxidation, and guard against embrittlement.
Cutting and Plasma Gases: Aircraft and spacecraft parts require fine, accurate cuts. Gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and mixed blends are delivered with purity and flow control to support clean laser or plasma cutting with minimal dross.
Heat Treatment & Atmosphere Control: Post‑weld processes such as annealing, brazing, and stress relief demand controlled atmospheres. nexAir’s gases help maintain consistent environments, while preventing contamination or distortion.
Leak Testing and Calibration Gases: In aerospace, even a tiny leak can be disastrous. nexAir provides precise tracer gas mixtures used in leak detection and calibration gases for instrumentation.

By providing a mix of custom blends, high-purity gases, and welding equipment, nexAir helps aerospace fabricators adapt to evolving materials and stricter tolerances.

Tailored Delivery and Reliable Supply Chain

Precision doesn’t end at the gas itself, it extends to consistent delivery. Aerospace professionals need to ensure that they’re always working with proper pressures and reliable flow to reduce downtime.

At nexAir, we offer multiple flexible delivery systems that fit your needs, no matter the scale of your operations. In between our high‑ and low‑pressure cylinders, microbulk, bulk tanks, and skid systems, you’ll always find a solution that fits.

Our advanced monitoring and inventory systems, combined with dedicated support, meanwhile, helps you anticipate demand, avoid supply gaps, and keep operations running. This is the kind of reliability that helps you Forge Forward without delays.

Safety and Leak Detection

In this sector, even a tiny mistake can have severe consequences. That’s why we ensure all our gases come with certificates of analysis, and are compliant with leading industry standards. Every gas that leaves our facility is documented, certified, and auditable.

But it’s not just enough to provide high quality gases — knowing how to use them is just as important. That’s why our experts work with engineers and fabricators to optimize gas flow rates, pressures, mixture types, and safety procedures. We also provide training on proper storage and handling and emergency protocols. All of this adds up: fewer defects, less waste, better safety, and consistent performance.
