Innovative manufacturing processes

Safran Aero Boosters is represented across all thrust ranges of commercial aviation engines. Safran Aero Boosters produces fan disks for CFM56, CF34-10, GEnx, GP7200 and GE9X engines. Depending on the engine, the fan disks are produced using various manufacturing processes such as broaching and milling, and inertial friction welding.

In order to apply this latest technology, which has only been mastered by a small number of companies in the world, Safran Aero Boosters has made a significant investment in machinery capable of welding together the four forged components that make up the fan disk.
