The different types of metal used at ADR

Range of ADR Ball Bearings

At ADR, we use different types of metal to manufacture our ball bearings depending on the project and application.

  • Stainless steel

Stainless steel is commonly used for the bearings at ADR. The martensitic stainless steel presents strong hardness and excellent abrasion resistance. Moreover, its chromium content makes it highly resistant to corrosion.

  • Chromium steel

Chromium steel presents a high hardness and high dimensional stability allowing it to resist heavy loads and to be usable at up to +150°C. Thanks to its homogeneous structure at both macroscopic and microscopic levels, it is able to respond to requirements of small torques and high rotating velocities. However, it is not recommended for corrosive environments.

  • High-speed steel

High-speed tungsten steel is used for very high temperature applications of up to +550°C. Its fine structure makes it particularly ideal for applications with a very low noise level.

  • Superalloy

At ADR we mainly use ALACRITE or STELLITE alloys which are cobalt based alloys with a high chromium and tungsten content. They can be used in the following environments:

  • Wide temperature ranges from -180 °C to +800 °C
  • Highly corrosive environments (thanks to an exceptional resistance to oxidation)
  • Applications requiring non-magnetic materials (due to their very low steel content)

Cobalt confers good rubbing characteristics and excellent resistance to abrasion and decreases the risk of seizure. The additions of chromium and tungsten form very hard and stable carbides which obtain strong hot and cold hardness for this type of alloy.

  • Light alloy

Light alloys are usually used for structural parts in the design of specific ball bearings due to their density or non-magnetism. Ti6AI-4V offers an excellent combination of mechanical properties, with low density, good corrosion resistance and high temperatures (of up to +400 °C), in addition to being non-magnetic.

  • Ceramic

ADR can propose hybrid ball bearings with steel rings and ceramic balls for use:

  • At high speed
  • In a corrosive environment
  • With limited lubrication
  • In a magnetic environment

ADR contributes to the rebirth of the Rosa Bonheur "Taureau Marchant"

The Rosa Bonheur "Taureau Marchant"

As this year marks the bi-century of artist Rosa Bonheur’s birth, the municipality of Thomery has decided to recreate one of her works of art. A part of the statue’s financing was gathered thanks to crowdfunding, especially from companies based in Thomery and surroundings, such as ADR.

Donations represent 50% of the total amount, or €48980 from 181 donators. The inauguration will take place at the “Combattants d’Hier et d’Aujourd’hui” roundabout (road of Champagne), on the 9th of December. Everybody is welcome to attend. The inauguration will be followed by a friendship glass.

ADR at the French Space Days in India

ADR and our agent Mac Marketing at French Space Days in India

Monday 9 October marked the start of the French Space Days with the arrival of French astronaut Thomas Pesquet and the French delegation composed of 26 SMEs including ADR. The aim of this conclave was to boost the business and reinforce the collaboration between France and India. This event was the perfect opportunity to discuss new strategies and also network with the different actors from the Indian space industry.

India asserts more and more its space nation’s position, especially with the landing of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on the Moon then with the launch of the new mission Aditya L-1, currently en route to the Sun.

Nowadays, the Indian space market represents 2% of the market in the world, or 7 billion dollars.

With many projects such as Gaganyaan or NISAR, India is increasingly developing its interest for space research. Indeed, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) owns one of the largest fleets of communication (INSAT), remote sensing (IRS), navigation and scientific satellites. Since its founding, the ISRO has launched 432 satellites on behalf of 34 countries.

The French Space Agency CNES and ISRO have been partners for over 50 years. Currently there are over 500 companies involved in activities such as components’ production, including ADR.
