Global aviation accounts for about 2% of global CO 2<br />

emissions. 1 A 1% reduction of aerospace fuel burn is<br />

equivalent to a fuel saving of 250 liters per flight. 2<br />

Reducing structural weight is one of the major ways to improve aircraft performance.<br />

AMG produces a number of specialty alloys and coatings including gamma titanium<br />

aluminum used to help reduce weight and improve operational performance of<br />

aircraft. These lightweight, high strength materials are critical to enabling the next<br />

generation commercial aircraft to reduce CO emissions and fuel usage. AMG’s<br />

2<br />

high-purity master alloys improve the physical properties of titanium alloys used<br />

in jet engines, airframes, and other critical-quality applications. The landing gears,<br />

airframes, and turbine blades of jet engines rely on strong, light-weight titanium<br />

alloys strengthened with these high-purity master alloys. In addition to producing<br />

light-weight materials, AMG’s coatings products such as thermal barrier coatings<br />

play a crucial role in jet aircraft engines and other aerospace applications. These<br />

coatings help materials withstand higher temperatures and mechanical stresses,<br />

while extending the useful life of the end products. These materials are highly<br />

engineered products designed to meet the needs of today’s high stress operating<br />

environments. With more than 90 years of know-how AMG is continuously developing<br />

new tailor-made materials according to our customers' requirements.<br />

AMG also develops and produces advanced vacuum furnace systems used to make<br />

titanium and other high purity materials used in aerospace applications. AMG produces<br />

electron beam /physical vapour deposition systems for corrosion protection and<br />

vacuum arc remelting systems used to produce high purity titanium and superalloys<br />

for aerospace. Some of these technologies have been used to help the Boeing 787<br />

achieve its goal of being 20% more efficient than similarly sized airplanes. 3<br />
