MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY AND ALLOYS
LIGHTNESS STARTS WITH THE MATERIAL
LEIBER stands for expertise along the whole process chain: from the molten alloy right through to the fitted assembly for all forgeable aluminum alloys. In close cooperation with suppliers, this permits optimum balancing and parameterization of the entire pouring, extruding, drop forging and heat treatment process. This is how LEIBER forged pieces are tuned for maximum performance.
The further development of standard materials has a long tradition at LEIBER. LEIBER established the AluHigh® and AluXtrem® brands back in 2004. This was followed in 2022 by AluMotive®, which specifically addresses the increasing sustainability requirements. And with the new application-optimized aluminium alloys AluResist for hydrogen applications and AluSpace® for the aerospace industry, we are consistently continuing on this path of developing application-optimized materials.
The characteristic parameters speak for themselves: superior properties across the board compared to standard alloys:
ALLOYS
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THE BOND
For the mechanical specifications of forged parts made from standard wrought aluminium alloys, the standard EN 586-2 applies. The values listed in this standard can be reliably demonstrated in every forged part at any time. At the LEIBER Group, we also use our own thermomechanical treatments on the forged parts.
For all other wrought aluminium alloys, standard EN 573-3 applies.
The mechanical properties and conditions defined by us are shown in the following table:
