Global Stainless specialises in the manufacture of precision tanks, pressure vessels and complex formed components for demanding aerospace applications.
Our experience and capabilities can support a range of aerospace fluid and propulsion systems, including:
-
Liquid Oxygen (LOX) tanks
-
Liquid Hydrogen (LH₂) tanks
-
Liquid Methane (LCH₄) tanks
-
RP-1 / rocket-grade kerosene fuel tanks
-
Cryogenic propellant tanks
-
Hypergolic propellant vessels
-
Nitrogen Tetroxide (N₂O₄) oxidiser vessels
-
MMH (Monomethylhydrazine) and UDMH propellant vessels
-
Helium (He) pressurant vessels
-
Nitrogen (N₂) pressurant vessels
-
Reaction Control System (RCS) propellant tanks
-
Specialist test and development vessels
From cryogenic propellant storage to high-pressure pressurant vessels, we understand the demanding requirements associated with aerospace tank manufacture, including complex geometries, controlled forming, precision welding and material integrity.
Precision Spheres & Domes
Our precision forming and fabrication capabilities allow us to manufacture complex spherical and hemispherical geometries for demanding aerospace applications.
We specialise in precision spheres, domes and other formed components where dimensional accuracy, consistency and surface quality are critical.
These components can form part of pressure vessels, propulsion systems, test hardware and other specialised aerospace assemblies.
Specialist Welding of Exotic Materials
Aerospace manufacturing often demands materials that require specialist fabrication techniques.
Our team has experience working with stainless steels, nickel alloys and other exotic or difficult-to-process materials, combining specialist welding expertise with controlled fabrication processes.
We understand that aerospace welding is about more than simply joining components. Heat input, distortion, penetration, cleanliness, repeatability and material properties all need to be carefully considered to achieve the required result.
Advanced Forming & Fabrication
Our manufacturing capabilities combine precision forming, fabrication and specialist welding to produce complex aerospace geometries.
From hemispherical domes and precision spheres through to propellant tanks, pressure vessels and specialist assemblies, we work closely with engineers to transform challenging designs into practical, manufacturable components.
Development, Test & Flight Hardware
Global Stainless can support projects through multiple stages of the aerospace development cycle:

FLIGHT HARDWARE
Our capabilities are suited to prototype and low-volume aerospace manufacturing, development hardware, test units, qualification hardware and production components.
We work with customers to understand the engineering requirements, manufacturing challenges and quality expectations associated with each project.
Quality, Traceability & Precision
Aerospace hardware demands confidence in the manufacturing process.
We focus on consistent workmanship, controlled manufacturing processes, traceability and inspection, working to customer specifications and applicable requirements.
Where required, projects can incorporate material certification, inspection, testing and manufacturing documentation to support demanding aerospace applications.
Built for the Difficult Stuff
The projects we enjoy most are the ones that present a genuine engineering challenge.
Whether it is an unusual material, complex geometry, demanding weld, tight tolerance, pressure vessel or one-off development component, our team works closely with customers to develop a practical manufacturing solution.
From precision spheres and domes to cryogenic propellant tanks and specialist aerospace hardware, Global Stainless brings the manufacturing expertise required to turn demanding engineering requirements into high-quality components.
