Materials

When it comes to selecting the appropriate material, we support and advise our customers, depending on the required performance parameters of the product. On request, we work out characteristic material values in the laboratories available on our premises.


Metals

We have a broad expertise in lightweight constructions regarding metallic materials. Particularly concerning the lightweight metals aluminium and titanium, we have been able to prove our competency in various projects (aerospace and car manufacturing) many times. The hybrid construction method, based on metal and plastic, is a special challenge. Here, the joining technique requires extraordinary solutions such as structural adhesive bonding. Thanks to many years of experience in this field, we are well-equipped for this avant-garde construction method.


Fibre composites

With an optimised selection of fibres (carbon fibres, glass fibres), the layer structure and the wall thickness, cost-effective lightweight structures can be developed which have the following system advantages:
