RAŠEK has been a leading independent, international provider for EMC, EMI, radio, electrical safety and environmental simulation for over 35 years. At our innovation centres and on-site at customer facilities anywhere in the world we provide consulting and laboratory testing (ISO17025 accredited) up to certification and approval management. Our teams consist of internationally recognised experts in electromagnetic environmental effects (E3). As technology has advanced, so have the qualitatively and regulatory requirements imposed on aircraft, avionics and aviation as a whole. The main issues range from electromagnetic interference to environmental factors such as air pressure, temperature and the direct and indirect effects of lightning, to vibration stresses on materials, components, and entire systems. In addition, the market now demands the use of novel materials in aircraft hulls. These offer higher stability combined with lower weight, and drive down costs in comparison to metals. The three main causes of EMC issues are thunderstorms, heavy EMI in air and space and mutual EMI between parts of a system. Due to the increased use of carbon fibre, the fuselage no longer acts as a Faraday cage, protecting against direct and indirect effects of lightning. Furthermore, system reliability under any conditions is of paramount. Flight safety cannot be guaranteed unless all airborne equipment – from components to entire systems – has passed stringent tests. Our key developments and innovations include for example: •Ability to generate (and simulate) direct lightning strikes greater than 100 kiloamps •ESD tests for discharges exceeding 300 kilovolts •HIRF tests with electric field strengths up to and exceeding 40,000 volts per metre We offer comprehensive services in accordance with manufacturers‘ specifications and standards like EUROCAE, IEC 61000-4-25, MIL-STD, SAE, RTCA/DO-160 and many more. Of course on request, we also provide testing according to customer-specific requirements. www.emcc.de 6 AIRTEC 2015 | Newsletter June 2015 Mandelli: High-strength aluminium powder for high-tech components One of the most important reference fields for Mandelli is the Aerospace sector which, characterized by hard materials and complex shapes, often requires milling and turning operations.

The method has made the successful leap from rapid prototyping to an approved manufacturing technology. In principle, any material that is weldable can be processed. Toolcraft uses nickel and titanium alloys, stainless and tool steels, as well as aluminium-silicon alloys. Now, the company has also begun to use a high-strength aluminium alloy produced by the company Airbus APWorks. Complete solutions from a single source Metal laser melting, in combination with established core techniques such as turning and milling for materials that are difficult to machine, provides significant added value. At the end, tactile or optical measurements are taken of the manufactured components and they are checked for surface faults using a non-destructive method. The cooperation with Airbus APWorks extends this process chain to further elements. In the future, clients will therefore benefit from topology optimisation of the design data. An evaluation of the components takes place in advance. In view of the many possibilities provided by the additive manufacturing, redesigns can also offer further potential. For example, savings can be made with regard to the weight. Metal laser melting - nearly making the impossible possible The advantages of this innovative method are obvious: the production of complex geometries, the processing of difficult to machine materials, and the production of components in the shortest possible time with particularly low material waste. Toolcraft always aims to improve its procedures and to expand its material base. For this, reliable and innovative materials-procurement partners are essential. "The Airbus Group has produced a type of powder that not only exhibits the positive properties of aluminium, but also very high strength with good elongation at break. Scalmalloy®, as it is named, is therefore unique in the market", says Toolcraft Managing Director Christoph Hauck. Material with high-performance properties Scalmalloy® is a corrosion-resistant material with the specific strength of titanium at a simultaneously high ductility. In addition, it is more than twice as strong as the aluminium-silicon powder currently in use. Because of these properties, Scalmalloy® is ideal for high-performance applications in the aerospace and aviation industries, for automotive applications and for special machinery manufacturing.

AIRTEC 2015 | Newsletter June 2015 17 Mieschke, Hofmann and Partner: Dynamic Supply Chain Management Global competition and varying customer demand create a need for responsive and agile supply chains. In consequence, firms need to collaborate and share information. Hence, supply chains are critical determinants for efficiency and effectiveness in the face of rapidly changing and competitive business environments. However, product lifecycles are shortened, competition on a price level increases, and inventories are reduced while the delivery performance shall be improved. Firms answer that challenge by implementing initiatives such as global sourcing or tracking and tracing in order to ensure competitiveness. Hence, firms have to comprehend the information and make it useable to establish transparency. One option is the visualization of material flows using a map based approach. Our solution creates transparency and assess risks about (production) sites on an ex- act geographical location (versus mailbox address). Further, our solution allows to assess the risk for various risks clusters such as geographical risks, political risks, financial risks (of suppliers) or capacity risks. Moreover, relations between sites can be analyzed and assessed for the defined risk clusters. In addition, a map allows to visualize the supply chain. For example, lines representing the transportation route vary based on the transport volume and/or frequency. Dynamic aspects such as inclusion of real-time information, simulation, modelling, or further collaboration tools enrich our solution and allows firms to improve supply chain excellence. Hence, firms and supply chain partners can react in real-time on occurring events using a scenario approach. Various scenarios allow firms to solve the conflict between best price and customer satisfaction by ensuring the supply of goods. In addition, a relation to the balance sheet can be implemented or further requirements can be realized. In consequence, firms gain insights on production sites, increase transparency for the supply chain, and visualize the supply of goods. Especially, the visualization enables firms to get back the control of their supply chains by transferring big data into useable information. In specific, risks can be quantified, risk alerts can be automated, or the impact of risks can be mapped to the supply chain from a qualitative perspective (disruptions of supply) and from a quantitative perspective (effect on the balance sheet). Furthermore, simulations improve the supply chain performance by calculating the best total cost of ownership (TCO) scenario, real-time data can be used to enrich decisions, and routing of goods can be visualized in real-time. www.mhp.com 18 AIRTEC 2015 | Newsletter June 2015 SOFITEC: New horizons with new international clients SOFITEC develops manufacturing and assembly integrated solutions, aerostructures of composite and metallic materials for the Aerospace Industry worldwide.
