Description (French)
Smarter Alloys fait progresser le développement de fils ultrafins pour les applications d’actionnement dans l’automobile et l’aérospatiale. Notre projet se concentre sur la création de fils ultrafins qui répondent à des normes élevées de performance mécanique et cyclique. Nous mettons au point des procédés de fabrication spécialisés pour obtenir des dimensions de fil précises et garantir une qualité constante grâce à des essais rigoureux et à une surveillance continue. Les principaux efforts portent sur l’optimisation des séquences de matrices, l’évaluation des lubrifiants, l’exploration des techniques de refroidissement et l’intégration de systèmes automatisés de contrôle de la qualité. Ces progrès amélioreront les performances des fils et soutiendront l’innovation dans les applications automobiles et aérospatiales de haute précision.
