From drones to amphibious vehicles
Aluminium wire solutions for the defence industry
Aluminium welding wire plays a key role in modern security and defence applications. Whether armoured land vehicles, amphibious vehicles, maritime systems, aerospace components or modular infrastructure solutions – the quality of the welded joint has a significant impact on the safety, weight and service life of the structure. In applications closely related to munitions, such as aluminium casings and percussion caps, reproducible material quality and tight tolerances are also crucial.
Elisental produces high-quality aluminium welding wire and semi-finished products, in the form of aluminium wire and aluminium bars, for demanding applications and supports customers right from the material selection stage. The products are used wherever reliability, corrosion resistance and reproducible welding or forming results are required.
Aluminium is becoming increasingly important in the security and defence industry. Aluminium offers an excellent combination of low weight, high corrosion resistance and good workability.
Elisental supplies aluminium wire, aluminium bars and welding wire for applications where weight reduction and material performance are crucial factors, such as:
- Armoured and logistical military vehicles, protected mobility systems and amphibious vehicles
- Frigates, ships and maritime defence applications (shipbuilding)
- Aviation and drone components, UAV systems
- Casings and percussion caps for munitions-related applications
- Repair and maintenance solutions
- Mobile infrastructure and container systems
- Personal protective equipment components
Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is increasingly becoming a key technology for the cost-effective production of complex aluminium components. WAAM offers significant advantages over conventional manufacturing processes, particularly for small-batch production, prototypes or spare parts.
Elisental supplies aluminium welding wire as the basis for modern WAAM processes and supports customers in selecting suitable materials for additive manufacturing applications.
- rapid production of complex components
- high material efficiency
- cost-effective for small batch sizes
- flexible spare parts production
- support for modern defence maintenance concepts
Whether aluminium alloys for the security industry, applications in aluminium shipbuilding for defence projects or innovative lightweight construction solutions for modern defence technology – Elisental combines over 100 years of aluminium expertise with a high-performance European value chain and development support based on partnership. This results in reliable material solutions for the requirements of today and tomorrow.
Our products are used in areas such as aluminium for military vehicles, protected mobility systems, maritime applications, aerospace components, drone structures, and infrastructure and container systems. Particularly in the field of aluminium welding wire for defence technology, customers benefit from our many years of expertise in materials and our close technical collaboration with development, procurement and specialist welding engineers. A key advantage for European procurement and development programmes is the European supply chain in the defence sector. Through the Esal Rod Alloys joint venture, Elisental has direct access to strategically important raw materials, thereby offering customers the highest level of security of supply.
As a supplier to the defence industry, Elisental stands for robust materials expertise and a supply chain firmly rooted in Europe. Whether a traditional defence contractor, a medium-sized defence supplier or a systems integrator – companies in the defence industry benefit from certified aluminium wire, bars and welding wire that meet the highest standards of safety, traceability and material performance.
The defence supply chain is multi-tiered: system integrators develop complex weapon and delivery systems and manage a broad network of Tier 1 and Tier 2/3 suppliers – ranging from machining and forming and stamping technologies to the manufacture of welded assemblies. Elisental supplies both levels of this chain to the same high quality standards.
For development, procurement and certification at system integrators: you specify materials for new programmes or qualify a secondary supplier. We provide the technical expertise, the approved welding wire and – via ELISENTAL.concept – the joint development of special alloys.
For manufacturing suppliers (machining, forming technology, welded assemblies): You manufacture components or assemblies for a system house or a Tier 1 supplier and require aluminium wire, rods or welding wire as documented, traceable raw materials – so that you can pass this documentation on to your own client without any gaps.
