Aeronautics and Ultralights
Tubes for aeronautics and light aeronautics
Trafiltubi’s historical tradition also includes the production of the first chromium-manganese and chromium-molybdenum steel tubes for aeronautics, such as 25CrMo4, 4130 and BS T45.
Furthermore, Trafiltubi is an undisputed specialist in the steel-principal for high-strength structures: the cold-drawn tube in 15CDV6, or SCV, with its extremely high performance, was introduced in Italy by Trafiltubi thanks to a direct collaboration with the prestigious Aubert & Duval steelworks , a leader in steel research, which had originally patented its formulation. In continuation of this collaboration, with the same steel mill, the project to drawAPX4 was started in 2005, which led to the patenting of HinoxTube®.
Trafiltubi responds to the most demanding requests for the production of components for aeronautics and the ultralight aircraft sector, proposing lightweight tubes with very high performance, in special micro-alloyed and also stainless steels, even shaped in the most varied forms, for all aeronautical and marine applications in general.
