LIMITED ACCESS TO CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS
SKY
LAND
SEA
SUBSEA
SPACE
Q: THE POTENTIAL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUPPLY OF RAW MATERIA LS?
FOR ERAMET SKY IS NOT THE LIMIT…
… BUT THE EARTH IS !
ERAMET AEROSPACE & DEFENCE PRODUCTS:
FROM SUBSEA TO SPACE
FOR ERAMET ACCESS TO RAW MATERIALS IS CRITICAL
EXAMPLES:

Metallurgical Innovations and Critical Parts for the Defence & Aerospace Industries 13
HOW CAN WE TACKLE THOSE RISKS?
RAW MATERIAL ERAMET AEROSPACE & DEFENCE
INDUSTRIES
CHALLENGES
EcoTitanium®, first aviation-grade titanium recycling plant
Independent from existing American and Russian suppliers
A sustainable development process
Landing gear
Ti6Al4V
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND PARTNERSHIPS, EXAMPLE "TITANIUM" 1
Group
Metallurgical Innovations and Critical Parts for the Defence & Aerospace Industries 14
SECURING SUPPLY: EXAMPLE "LITHIUM"
CHALLENGES
Lithium is a critical material for the Li-ion batteries
Electric Vehicle revolution to increase the demand for lithium
Aerospace and Defence products need also lithium as a raw material
With its strategic lithium deposit in Argentina, ERAMET is well positioned in the Li Market
AIRWARE® 2050
ERAMET Lithium Deposit

RAW MATERIAL ERAMET
CHALLENGES
Batteries for electric cars need cobalt
Electric vehicles revolution could create supply issues
Nickel by-products represent an alternative solution
N18
Nickel
by-products
Superalloys
need cobalt
ALTERNATIVE SOURCING: EXAMPLE "COBALT" 3
HOW CAN WE TACKLE THOSE RISKS?
AEROSPACE & DEFENCE INDUSTRIES
Group
Metallurgical Innovations and Critical Parts for the Defence & Aerospace Industries 16
CHALLENGES
RAW MATERIAL ERAMET
60% of the European graphite electrodes needs come from China
Environmental restrictions, reduced graphite electrodes production in China
Graphite electrode prices increased "X10" in one year !
IV30 Vacuum Induction Melting (VIM) represents an opportunity to overcome this issue
MLX®19
IV30 one the largest World
VIM furnace
INNOVATIVE PROCESSES: EXAMPLE "GRAPHITE ELECTRODE" 4
"Carbon Free"

AD730®
Aubert & Duval has developed AD730®,
an advanced superalloy that can operate
at higher temperatures than other
superalloys. Thanks to AD730®, engines
can be designed to consume less
kerosene and emit less CO2.
INNOVATIVE ALLOYS: EXAMPLE "AD730®, MLX®19" 5
MLX®19
The new steel grade MLX®19
developed by Aubert & Duval is
designed to replace hazardous
surface coatings, including the
CrVI element in the landing gear
parts.

INITIATIVES FOR THE AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE INDUSTRIES
EU “Inside”
Partnerships: building strong partnerships with strategic foreign
countries to secure the raw materials supply-chain.
Stockpile: building a European strategic stockpile of critical raw
materials for the Defence and Aerospace Industries?
Alternative: developing a European alternative for each strategic
raw materials for European end-users.
Inside: encouraging a robust EU value chain for the raw materials
content of strategic products for the European Defence and
Aerospace industries.
Recycling: promoting the complete recycling of Defence and
Aerospace used parts.
THE FUTURE ?
Cross-fertilization: promoting and enhancing synergies between
the Defence and the Aerospace sectors so as to accelerate the
development and maturity of new grades.
