A wide ranging material spectrum
Alcoa die forgings for the aerospace and industrial markets utilize aluminum, titanium, magnesium, and nickel-based alloys, as well as a host of tempers, that offer the benefits of weight reduction, cost reduction, and improved service life.
Primary sourcing
Our ability to control the manufacturing process from primary metals to Alcoa Prime gives us a significant edge, as do our global production facilities. In addition, our willingness to work with aerospace OEMs and tier-two manufacturers, as well as other Alcoa divisions, allows us to implement integrated supply chains that create critical advantage in very competitive markets.
An impressive design palette
The Alcoa Signature Cold Work Process™ curtails residual stress in our forged products, making them machine better with minimal distortion. This process, combined with our advanced modeling techniques for monolithic structures, creates a palette of advanced assembly solutions that can positively impact the bottom line.
Pure partnership
From collaborative design to concurrent engineering, we’re working hand in hand with our customers to create optimized structural solutions that offer new options and opportunities in forged metallics.
| | Brilliant solutions
The broadest array of talented people ever assembled by Alcoa combine with unmatched technical depth and an unequalled metallics database to create innovative, customer-driven solutions at an unprecedented rate.
The value of speed
Our forging design and manufacturing capability reduces product launch time and allows you to take advantage of die forgings on the very first production part or test article. This allows us to significantly accelerate the product development cycle.
A visible difference
Advanced engineering capabilities and proprietary alloys have resulted in monolithic forgings. These unitized structures replace built-up assemblies, reducing part counts, weight and cost. Capabilities range up to 24,000 square inches of plan view area on parts weighing as much as 10,000 pounds. We also have forged block capability, including contours, to the same weight. |
