We are part of the main Defence Programs

DEFENCE

Our advanced forging and heat treatment methods are key in the defence sector, and make us one of the few suppliers of this industry.
With our stricht metodology we are able to fullfill the stringent demands for strength, durability and reliability can be met.

APPLICATIONS

Fan case module

The fan case module is a very delicate part of an aircraft engine. The pieces that compose it must be very light resistant to keep the efficiency of the plane and to be able to contain potential fragments of blades mainly due to FOD. Before entering in service these components have to pass numerous tests.

Front fan case

High & low pressure compressor

Located downstream of the fan stages, they represent the way to increase efficiency on a jet propulsion system. Compressors have to decrease the flow air speed and increase contemporarily the pressure at the exit of ach stage. Rotor and stator blades may be able to resist to failure, their cases are designed like the fan case module.

Compressor case

Combustion chamber

Inside combustion chamber happens the combustion of the comburent mixed with the fuel. High temperature resistance is the “must be” for this component. Superalloys are generally used for the manufacturing of the combustion chambers. The design of the combustion chambers shall take into consideration perfect fuel-air ratio that permits an efficient combustion (reduced of fuel consumption).

Turbine

Turbine is the machine which drive fan and compressor and it has the role to transform the energy of the combusted gas. Main limitation factor of the turbine design is the elevated operative temperature in combination with high rotation speed of their blades. A good compromise can be found in Nickel base material (alloys and superalloys).
