Besides large sizedstructural components, as the gigantic fuselage frames forthe Airbus A350, tail unit fittings or window frames, alsohighly stressed landing gear parts and wheels are importantapplications for aluminium forgings. If lowest weight ismost urgent magnesium forgings are used, for example ashousings for helicopter gear boxes.Forgings made of titanium are applied if highest strengthproperties, particularly also at elevated temperatures, anda low component weight are indispensable, for instancefor sleeves of rotor blades for helicopters or aircraft engineparts. The combustion chamber of the carrier rocketAriane 5 is a further highlight of our production range.14 OTTO FUCHShydraulic 30,000 tonsforging press
