LISI AEROSPACE
CHALLENGE:
FACING THE OCEAN!
The LISI AEROSPACE division joined forces this year with the SODEBO Ultim team
for the construction of the new SODEBO Ultim’3 racing trimaran. This technical
partnership, already in place for more than ten years, was an opportunity to
demonstrate once again LISI AEROSPACE’s technical expertise, innovation and
reactivity capabilities on high-tech metal parts. Our teams co-designed and
produced the mast foot (Parthenay); foil well parts made of titanium by additive
manufacturing (Ayguemorte-les-graves);
aeronautical grade fasteners (Saint-Ouen-
l’Aumône) for themast and latest generation
OPTIBLIND™ blind fasteners (Villefranche-
de-Rouergue) for hull assembly. Skipper
Thomas Coville and his team are now
preparing to tame this new sea giant for
new records. 14 transatlantic races and
no less than 3 round-the-world tours are
planned for the next 4 years, with as amajor
objective the unprecedented Brest Ocean
race (departure scheduled end of December
2023) in which all the Ultimes will compete
in a solo world tour!
LISI AUTOMOTIVE
BORON STEEL
INCREASING RESISTANCE
LISI AUTOMOTIVE has developed a one-piece low-alloy boron steel wheel bolt. It
offers consistent levels of mechanical resistance up to 1040 MPa after hardening
and tempering heat treatment. Studies conducted by the LISI AUTOMOTIVE
central laboratory in Grandvillars have also demonstrated
that the application of a last-generation surface treatment
guarantees excellent stability of the friction coefficient in
a humid environment (up to 40°C and 80% residual humidity)
and at temperatures of up to 140°C. This new generation of
one-piece wheel bolts, available in gray or black versions,
guarantees optimum clamping conditions and safety of use.
