3 _ STRATEGIC VISION _ Levers for action / Innovation LISI AEROSPACE / ENVIRONMENT / PERFORMANCE CONDUCTIVE COATINGS FOR AEROSPACE FASTENERS Among the many properties of the coatings of an aircraft binding – friction to facilitate installation, corrosion resistance, and temperature resistance – electrical conductivity is involved in the grounding of the structural elements of the aircraft and in the evacuation of lightning currents. The solutions available today use coatings which must be eliminated for environmental reasons or are not compatible with all types of structure. They are therefore intended for niche markets. LISI AEROSPACE conducted a research project in order to develop a coating with very low electrical resistance associated with the environmental performance which made the success of its HI- KOTE™ range. The new product, which has the desired level of resistivity, is compatible with metallic and composite structures and meets current and future environmental requirements. LISI AEROSPACE will offer this innovation on all of its fastening products. LISI AUTOMOTIVE / ELECTRIFICATION / INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE EMBEDDED MECHATRONICS A NEW GENERATION OF LEAD SCREWS LISI AUTOMOTIVE actively participates in the flow of innovations linked to the development of on-board mechatronics and the rise in vehicle electrification. The new generation of lead screws designed by the division thus allow the internal components of a car to move for the comfort of passengers, such as consoles for example. To support the mass production of these innovations, LISI AUTOMOTIVE benefits from €800,000 financial support from Bpifrance. LISI AEROSPACE / DEVELOPMENT / MARKETS A NEW RANGE OF HYDRAULIC FITTINGS This range of products is new to LISI AEROSPACE and ensures the circulation of hydraulic fluids in the aircraft (at the landing gear and in the wings). These products are subjected to very high pressures (up to 206 bars for steel parts). They are installed permanently throughout the life of an aircraft (20 years) and are subjected to extreme tests during acceptance testing. They are manufactured by the American site of City of Industry (California) and were developed and tested in record time. Thanks to the digital tools used for design, validation and simulation, the complete range was actually finalized in just 20 months. Development
