Mobility

For the Mobility of today – and tomorrow

How we move is changing – and it’s changing fast. Driven by a need for more efficient, environmentally-friendly transportation options, this revolution in mobility is introducing a range of age-defying technologies. From electric vehicles to flying taxis, high-speed trains and even space travel, alloys are the material of choice for the transportation of tomorrow.

For heat engine vehicle, petrol or diesel, regulations and environmental restrictions bring many tough challenges. Materials are facing harsh environment, high temperature, stress and fatigue under long lifespan. Our high performance alloys  support the continuous demand for handling more demanding device.

Applications

Actuators and transformers

Increased efficiency, higher performance.

Actuators and transformers

Actuators and transformers demand a high magnetization dynamic. A low cobalt content or a 50% nickel alloys tick the box. That’s why high-efficiency compact transformers depend on our nickel-iron and cobalt-iron magnetic stamped parts (E/I), as well as our nanocrystalline magnetic cores.  

Engines and turbines

The material of choice for light and high power density electric generators and motors.

Engines and turbines

Offering high saturation induction, good permeability and useful electrical resistivity, our range of cobalt-based alloys or the material of choice for light and high power density generators and electric motors. 

Electrical and Electronic devices

The key to eliminating superfluous weight and volume.

Electrical and Electronic devices

Due to their excellent magnetic properties and robust temperature resistance, Aperam iron-cobalt alloys help electrical and electronic devices shed weight and reduce volumes. That’s why our magnetic cores and stamped parts are regularly used in such applications as converters, inverters, batteries, onboard chargers, and charging station management systems, among others. 

Landing gears

The key to eliminating superfluous weight and volume.

Landing gears

To help aircraft become lighter and more fuel efficient, aircraft are looking for new high-performance lightweight material solutions that can withstand the excessive friction and corrosion that aircraft landing gear systems are subjected to. That material is “alloys”. Our maraging alloys offer the strength, safety and extended lifespan that aircraft landing gear demand. 

Valves / Fasteners

IMPHY 286 and 750 for fasteners and valves.

Valves / Fasteners

Fasteners and valves demand a material with high mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance – even at high temperatures. That material is Aperam IMPHY® 286 and 750 alloys.

Car interior

For resistance wire and bimetal strips.

Car interior

From airbags to cigarette lighters, defrosters, heated seats and adjustable mirrors, the inside of our vehicle is packed with safety features and creature comforts – all of which are made possible by alloys. Aperam offers solutions for the resistance wire and bimetal strips that many vehicle components depend on. All our grades satisfy local and international safety standards, as well as the specifications of automotive manufacturers

CVT

A maraging steel for CVT applications.

CVT

Our patented maraging steel was developed specifically for CVT (Continuous-Variable-Transmission-Belt) applications. The solution provides the mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, formability and weldability needed to ensure a long service life.

Exhaust system

Superalloys, the material of choice for exhaust systems.

Exhaust system

Superalloys provide exhaust systems with excellent resistance to high temperatures, superb mechanical properties and the durability needed to withstand harsh environments.

Heat exchangers

Improving efficiency and reliability.

Heat exchangers

Combining self-brazing copper with a stainless steel base will improve the efficiency and reliability of assembling clad metal application.

Injectors

Optimizing fuel efficiency.

Injectors

Diesel engine designers are committed to optimizing fuel efficiency to meet government emissions requirements. Imphy’s AFK alloy is one way to improve the injectors.

Torque sensors / EPS

Enabling Electric Power Steering.

Torque sensors / EPS

In new vehicles, Electric Power Steering (EPS) has replaced traditional hydraulic power steering. One of the advantages of EPS is that it eliminates the power steering pump. This improves fuel economy and eliminates the weight and bulk of the power steering pump and hoses. EPS is also quieter  because there is no pump noise and no fluid flowing through hoses and valves. But the most noticeable difference is in handling and steering refinement.

Railway

The material of choice for rail applications.

Railway

Alloys are the material of choice for a number of rail applications. For example, thanks to their suitable ohmic values, NiCr and FeCrAl alloys can be integrated into the composition of electric resistance that absorbs energy and acts as braking mechanism (for electrical motors).

PHYTIME for CVT

A patented solution used in continuous variable transmission belt , where mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, formability and weldability are necessary to ensure the requested long lifespan, and the pleasure of a smooth driving.
