Hot Forming
Aries Manufacturing has one of the largest fleets of Hot Forming (HF) machines in the world, with multiple installations and over 800 parts references produced.
Thanks to this expertise, we can ensure fast, efficient and controlled production of complex parts such as wing leading edges, pylon parts, helicopter blade leading edges and fuselage components.
Superplastic Forming combines forming highly complex parts with excellent mechanical characteristics and optimized weight. It is used to produce structural parts around cockpits or rotating engine blades, meeting the most stringent performance and lightness requirements.
A proven and qualified technology, specifically developed as a cost-cutting solution in the aerospace industry for titanium profiles. This process uses CNC precision control of force, position and temperature to form titanium profiles such as extrusions or rolled shapes. HSF® technology significantly improves the material utilization rate (buy-to-fly ratio) of titanium, as well as machining time. These are two of the main cost factors for today’s aircraft manufacturers, compared with other processes using forgings or plates.
Fast, repeatable and cost-efficient, our Cold Forming solutions are ideal for producing curved and complex parts with high precision and industrial reliability.
Linear Friction Welding is a game-changing process to produce structural parts with lower raw material and machining time providing important cost-savings in comparison with traditionnal fully-Machined process.
Our LFW process is a breakthrough solid-state welding technology able to join a wide range of materials including materials that can not be welded with conventional methods.
Stretch Forming is used to produce aerostructure parts of various geometries, such as leading edges, fuselage panels or helicopter parts. This technology ensures wrinkle-free parts, with uniform stress distribution and minimal spring back, while optimizing cycle times.
Profile Stretch Forming presses are a specialty in which we have acquired recognized expertise. It enables us to produce complex shapes such as frames and heddles, while guaranteeing precision and repeatability.
Designed for the production of complex titanium and aluminum aerospace parts, our Hot Forming and Superplastic Forming presses combine performance, precision and manufacturing efficiency. From fuselage structures and nacelle leading edges to engine components and cockpit parts, these technologies enable the shaping of geometries impossible to achieve with conventional forming processes while reducing assembly operations and material waste.
A state-of-the-art technology for the manufacture of blisks and aerostructure parts, linear friction welding guarantees solid, high-quality welds in just a few seconds. With the largest installed base in the world, ACB is the world leader in LFW.
This automatable process optimizes productivity, reduces material consumption and enables bi-material welding. From testing to industrial deployment, ACB supports its customers every step of the way.
Elastoforming is an economical, high-productivity forming technology, ideal for small and medium-sized production runs of lightweight parts. Using high-strength elastomeric cushions, this process enables rapid production of parts such as reinforcements, pipe supports, structural frames and reinforcement parts, while guaranteeing high precision and reduced costs.
Hot Stretch Straightening is a fast and accurate way to straighten and form large extrusions. These presses can be designed for cold forming and straightening of aluminum or hot straightening of titanium extrusions.
Understanding the environmental impact of our presses
At Aries Industries, we assess the environmental impact of our presses through a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This approach enables us to evaluate the overall footprint of our machines, from production to end-of-life, with a clear objective: better understanding to design better. LCA is an eco-design methodology that goes beyond CO₂ emissions alone. It considers […]
Roadmap Carbone : In response to climate challenges, we have developed a carbon roadmap aligned with a “below 2°C” trajectory in line with the Paris Agreement. With an initial target date of 2030, it is divided into two phases: 2023-2026 to structure and accelerate our actions, then 2027-2030 to consolidate our transformation in a sustainable […]
Student training: a strong commitment for Aries Industries Since 2023, Aries Industries has been a partner of La Joliverie. This three-year partnership aims to strengthen ties between the training center and our group. Every year, an action plan is jointly defined by our two institutions to determine the actions to be implemented during the year. […]
Based in the heart of Nantes, Aries Industries brings together passionate teams working on innovative aerospace projects and developing truly world-unique technologies.
