Bharat Forge, Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL), Foundry & Forge Division, and Saarloha Advanced Materials (Saarloha) have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for development and production of aerospace grade steel alloys, at Aero India. This MoU also accentuates development, certification & prove out and application of new material for use in production of aircrafts, engines, and accessories.
This collaboration would be a unique opportunity to speed up the qualification processes. Manufacturing of specialty steel would play a significant role in realizing the success of national aerospace & defense programs under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative and this MOU is a noteworthy step towards the same.
There are very few equivalent approved/qualified domestic suppliers for various types of Aerospace grade steel alloys used in Aircraft applications. Due to this such alloys are getting imported which creates dependency on foreign steel, manufactures. Hence, accelerated efforts are needed to develop and manufacture such steel alloys in India through collaboration. The usage of such specialty alloys in Aerospace is going to increase multifold, especially in fighter Aircrafts/Helicopters. This indigenization initiative could also pave the way for the increased utilization of ‘Make in India’ steels in other related sector such as space & defense.
Bharat Forge is engaged in manufacturing of close die and open die forging, crankshafts, front axle beams, steering knuckle, connecting rods, rocker arm and many more components.
