Aubert & Duval continuously develops new processes and grades able to face space challenges.

HPS ML340

This duplex hardening grade is specifically adapted for turbine shafts operating at high temperature (450°C/840°F), and requiring 2230 MPa/323 Ksi resistance. This allows savings in weight, together with engine efficiency improvement, hence lower gas consumption.

NiSA AD730®

Is a fully innovative nickel-base superalloy. It withstands higher temperatures (750 °C / 1,382 °F), while reserving strength, creep and fatigue resistance at a competitive cost.

Al Aluminum-Lithium alloys

Aluminum Lithium grades allow weight gain up to 4%. Their static properties are equivalent or higher than 7010/7050 and fatigue and rigidity properties improved more than 10%.
