Numerical simulation to answer aerospace challenges

Aerospace components producers face the challenges of designing, testing and delivering their products on-time and on-budget together with producing parts complying with the in-use properties requirements.

Since the beginning, Apex Forging has been working closely with major European engine and aerospace components producers to develop an advanced simulation solution for high technology components.

Your main challenges

We help you with getting a head start in a highly technological sector

Design components with high tech materials

You have to design parts from high tech materials (stainless steel, titanium alloy, superalloys) to guarantee high performances, in particular mechanical properties at high temperatures.

Master metallurgy

You want to master the metallurgical evolutions and assure the control of the microstructure. It is important to predict grain size evolutions, simulate processes with directional solidification, anticipate mechanical properties under in-use conditions and limit the costs of non-destructive testing (NDT).

Reduce weight to meet environmental requirements

To meet the requirements to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, intensify the development of ever lighter components by favoring non-ferrous alloys as well as composite materials.

We meet your challenges

Every type of production presents its own challenges and we are here to provide specific answers to your different trades.

For forged components

Apex Forging is used with success by aeronautical parts producers worldwide for the conception and manufacturing of the components such as turbine discs and blades, fuselage parts, undercarriages, tubes, fastening systems, rivets, etc.
