HIGHER, FASTER, LIGHTER

Reliable and innovative materials play a decisive role in the aviation industry. Intelligent materials not only make aviation safer, but also significantly more economical. The most important requirements are maximum stability with the lowest possible weight, but sometimes also high corrosion resistance.

The aerospace industry demands high-performance materials with a wide range of property profiles for the airframe, engine and landing gear. Our customers order the products according to the required specifications and standards, and we produce and supply precisely the steels and alloys they need, in the desired composition and dimensions, with the desired properties. Every single production and testing step is in our hands and ensures quality at the highest level. Product safety and safe processes have the highest priority. Voestalpine BÖHLER Edelstahl is the most reliable supplier of steel and nickel alloys in the aerospace industry.

Special requirements for aerospace materials include:

• High specific strength (tensile strength / specific weight) for lightweight construction
• Corrosion resistance on a case-by-case basis
• Mechanical strength and toughness at low temperatures (below -100°C) up to over 1000°C
• Fatigue strength
• Resistance against fracture
• Product safety (freedom from defects) especially for safety parts
