Shenyang Aircraft cuts fighter jet structure parts’ weight using PAM-STAMP
钣金成型航空航天及国防 
With both superplastic forming and diffusion bonding simulation using PAM-STAMP, SAC cut by half its average tooling development time of the complicated structure parts and made the fighter lighter.”
Challenge
The mass of a fighter jet directly impacts its performance. Mass reduction can only be addressed by a combination of lighter materials and adapted design, using state of-the-art technology such as Superplastic Forming and Diffusion Bonding to eliminate the need for fasteners. But using such technologies on high-performance materials such as a titanium alloy requires careful design and advanced simulation capabilities, which Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) found in ESI’s PAM-STAMP.
Benefits
- The structure parts’ weight of the new Naval Fighter Jet was reduced,
- The average cost of the total structure parts was cut,
- SAC Design Engineers acquired valuable know-how, . The new Naval Fighter Jet was delivered on time.
