Defontaine, unique expertise in the manufacture of flanges and sectors

The Defontaine Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of complex parts for the aerospace and industrial markets and offers a wide range of flanges and sectors.

Our dimensional capabilities range from 150 mm to 6,500 mm in diameter. We work with the following materials: nickel-based, cobalt-based alloys, titanium, steel, stainless steel and aluminium.

Our expertise is recognised worldwide for both military and civil programs. We manage the entire supply chain from the supply of materials to the delivery of finished parts, including quality control of the production process.

Specific expertise: producing flanges using flash-butt welding

We use the flash-butt welding process to manufacture static or rotating parts. This process offers the possibility to obtain tolerances in compliance with the finished dimensions of our parts, without residual stress.

Our design office is able to produce the finest and most complex flanges based on drawings and co-designing with our customers. The shaping process we use allows us to produce parts in compliance with the finished part dimensions and thus reduce the raw material used. We control the entire process from the manufacture of the flash-butt welded blank in compliance with the finished part dimensions to final machining contributing to cost improvements.

Over the years, Defontaine has become an expert in flanges and sectors with an ever-increasing degree of technical sophistication.

Our range of Defontaine flanges

Flanges

The quality of our products is recognised by major manufacturers for demanding applications. The machining resources we use for turning, milling and machining enable us to provide a wide range of high-precision flanges, sectors, static or rotating parts. They can be integrated into complex mechanical assemblies or casings.

We are present on most civil, military and helicopter engine programs, and produce parts for the entire engine from air intake casings to exhaust nozzles.

Our flange sizes range from 150 mm to 6,500 mm.

Examples of flanges produced by Defontaine:

Helicopter turbine flanges from flash-butt welded and rolled rings
Reactor rectifier shells
Rings for combustion chamber
Rings for HP or LP compressor
Engine mounting flanges for exhaust nozzles
Abradable support
Rear casing shell
