High-performance materials in the aerospace industry
The aerospace world is constantly on the lookout for materials that can withstand extreme operating conditions. This group of special high-performance materials is established on the market under trade names such as Hastelloy®, Haynes®, Nimonic® and Inconel®
These are highly developed materials that are known both for their exceptional resistance under wet-chemical conditions and for their versatility. These superalloys offer remarkable resistance to corrosion, oxidation and high temperatures, which is essential for the extreme conditions of the industry.
In the aerospace industry, these materials are used in a wide range of applications, from the manufacture of engine components and structural parts to valves and pipes. Its resistance to corrosive media such as acids, salts and chemicals makes it an essential material for critical applications where reliability and durability are crucial. In addition, the material group is characterized by its excellent mechanical properties, which enable engineers to realize complex designs while ensuring the safety and performance of aerospace systems.
System solutions for aviation
As a materials supplier and system provider for high-performance materials, these nickel, nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys are among our favorite products. In addition to our procurement knowledge, we also have a great deal of specialist expertise in the field of aviation and aerospace technology: We supply processing, surface treatment and drawing parts made from these durable nickel alloys to our customers worldwide for production. However, these system solutions are not easy to implement in the industry:
Certifications are a prerequisite
Strict regulations are necessary in order to meet the requirements of our customers in the demanding aerospace industry. We can comply with these through consistent internal processes. This particular capability is underlined by our aerospace-certification EN 9120:2018 (AS 9120B) from TÜV, which allows us to provide high-quality products and services to customers and Tier 1 or Tier 2 suppliers of aviation or aerospace technology.
In recent months, we have been able to supply nickel, nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys to global aerospace players and their suppliers.
According to the material numbering system, nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys are located in the 2.46xx to 2.49xx range.
Here are some examples
- 2.4600 (Alloy B4 / Hastelloy® B-3)
- 2.4602 (Alloy C22 / Hastelloy® C-22)
- 2.4610 (Alloy C4 / Hastelloy® C-4 )
- 2.4617 (Alloy B2 / Hastelloy® B-2 )
- 2.4619 (Alloy G3 / Hastelloy® G-3 / Inconel® G-3)
- 2.4951 (Alloy 75 / Haynes®75 / Nimonic®75)
- 2.4964 (Alloy 25 / Haynes® 25 / alloy L-605 / Stellite 25)
The continuous development of nickel alloys, particularly nickel-based and cobalt-based alloys, enables the aerospace industry to push its boundaries and find innovative solutions to the challenges it faces. The combination of cutting-edge research and engineering makes the material an indispensable building block for the next generation of aviation.
