In a context of significant growth of air traffic, aircraft manufacturers face new economic and environmental challenges of commercial aircraft.  LAWITECS project, bringing together manufacturers such as SONACA, IONICS, MICROMEGA DYNAMICS and LASEA, proposes to develop Natural Laminar Flow technology applied to the wing leading edges in order to reduce fuel consumption of a medium-haul type A320 aircraft between 5 and 12% by 2025.

The aim of the Smart Integrated Guided Rocket Development (SIGURD) project is to bring together FN Herstal (FNH), Thales Belgium (TBE), G

Dans le secteur aéronautique en particulier mais aussi dans tous les autres secteurs, les matériaux composites se généralisent. Le comportement de ces matériaux à l’impact est particulièrement complexe et mal maîtrisé.

A multidisciplinary team with complementary skills :

Innovation is at the center of our concerns to increase our competitiveness.

Technochim is a company specialised in mechanical, chemical and electro-chemical treatments of metal surfaces.

These treatments are carried out on metals in order to modify their surface properties to increase their resistance to corrosion or for decorative purposes. For carbon steel, it may also constitute a base to improve adhesion of subsequent treatments such as painting, etc…

Among the different treatments at which Technochim excels, we mention in particular: 

The growth in laser marking applications is driven by an increasing need for part identification and traceability, for aircraft manufacturers, for instance. Product identification, in the form of simple alphanumerics to complicated graphics and codes, is proven to reduce costly errors, man-hours, and material waste.

Laser technology has proven to be the most consistent, high-speed, effective manner of permanent identification for the smallest industrial pieces.
