Global Rolled Products
Arconic’s Global Rolled Products segment produces a range of aluminum sheet
and plate products for the aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, brazing
and industrial markets. This segment comprises Aerospace and Automotive Products;
Brazing, Commercial Transportation and Industrial Solutions; and Micromill™
Products and Services. As part of the Separation of Alcoa Corporation from the
Company, the Global Rolled Products segment integrated its Bohai (China), Itapissuma
(Brazil), and Samara (Russia) facilities into Brazing, Commercial Transportation
and Industrial Solutions and its Tennessee (U.S.) facility into Aerospace and
Automotive Products.
Aerospace and Automotive Products (AAP). AAP provides a wide range of products,
including many highly-differentiated sheet and plate products, for the worldwide
aerospace and North American automotive markets.
Brazing, Commercial Transportation and Industrial Solutions (BCI). BCI provides
aluminum brazing sheet, brazing sheet product innovations, and proprietary multi-layer
sheet solutions for multiple applications, including for commercial transportation
and industrial customers.
Arconic Micromill™ Products and Services (MPS). MPS includes the Company’s
Micromill™ technology that produces an aluminum alloy that is 40 percent
more formable and 30 percent stronger than incumbent automotive aluminum and
twice as formable and at least 30 percent lighter than high-strength steel.
Micromill also reduces a 20-day production process to 20 minutes, and allows
the Company’s customers to create lighter, more fuel-efficient vehicles.
In November 2016, Arconic entered into a multi-year contract with Airbus valued
at approximately $1 billion. The agreement puts Arconic sheet and plate on every
Airbus platform and is the first to include material from Arconic’s new
state-of-the art “very thick plate stretcher” at its facility in
Davenport, Iowa. Arconic expects the Davenport very thick plate stretcher to
be commissioned by the second quarter of 2017 and to enable the Company to produce
the largest high-strength monolithic wing ribs in the industry.
Engineered Products and Solutions
Arconic’s Engineered Products and Solutions segment develops and manufactures
high performance products for the aerospace (commercial and defense), commercial
transportation, and power generation end markets. Such products include fastening
systems (titanium, steel, and nickel superalloys); seamless rolled rings (mostly
nickel superalloys); investment castings (nickel superalloys, titanium, and
aluminum), including airfoils and forged jet engine components (e.g., jet engine
disks); and various forging and extrusion metal products for the oil and gas,
industrial products, automotive, and land and sea defense end markets.
The Engineered Products and Solutions segment is comprised of four business
units: Arconic Power and Propulsion; Arconic Fastening Systems and Rings; Arconic
Forgings and Extrusions; and Arconic Titanium and Engineered Products.
Arconic Power and Propulsion (APP). APP produces investment cast airfoils for
aero engine and industrial gas turbines and structural aero engine and airframe
components. APP also provides additive manufacturing technologies, superalloy
and titanium ingots, machining, performance coatings, and hot isostatic pressing
for high performance parts.
Arconic Fastening Systems and Rings (AFSR). AFSR produces aerospace fastening
systems and rings, as well as commercial transportation fasteners. The business’s
rings and high-tech, multi-material fastening systems are found nose to tail
on aircraft and aero engines. The business’s products are also critical
components of industrial gas turbines, automobiles, commercial transportation
vehicles, and construction and industrial equipment.
Arconic Forgings and Extrusions (AFE). AFE produces defense airframe forgings
and extrusions, such as forged bulkheads, wing and landing gear components,
and lightweight drive shafts for the aerospace and commercial transportation
industries.
Arconic Titanium and Engineered Products (ATEP). ATEP produces titanium aero
ingots and mill products, and provides multi-material airframe subassemblies
and solutions related to advanced technologies and materials, such as 3D printing
and titanium aluminides.
Transportation and Construction Solutions
Arconic’s Transportation and Construction Solutions segment produces products
that are used mostly in the nonresidential building and construction and commercial
transportation end markets. Such products include integrated aluminum structural
systems, architectural extrusions, forged aluminum commercial vehicle wheels,
and aluminum products for the industrial products end market.
The Transportation and Construction Solutions segment is comprised of three
business units: Arconic Wheel and Transportation Products; Building and Construction
Systems; and Latin American Extrusions.
Arconic Wheel and Transportation Products (AWTP). AWTP provides forged aluminum
wheels and related products for heavy-duty trucks and the commercial transportation
markets.
Building and Construction Systems (BCS). BCS provides building and construction
architectural framing products and aluminum curtain wall and front entry systems.
Latin American Extrusions (LAE). LAE serves both the building and construction
and the industrial markets in Latin America, with products including aluminum
architectural systems for doors, windows and curtain walls, and a wide range
of extruded solutions for the automotive, defense and other industrial industries.
