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.
