Expert laboratory: compliance with military standards (MIL)
FILAB, your partner for compliance with international military requirements
In the Aerospace, Space, and Defense (ASD) sectors, compliance with military specifications is the cornerstone of operational safety. These requirements ensure that the materials and processes used for your essential parts will withstand the most hostile environments.
FILAB supports prime contractors and their subcontractors in the rigorous validation of their products according to MIL-SPEC and MIL-STD references. Thanks to dual expertise in chemistry and metallurgy, we transform complex normative requirements into reliable and actionable results.
MIL standards reference for ASD
MIL-T-9047 : Titanium and titanium alloy bars and billets
MIL-A-6088 : Heat treatment of aluminum alloys
MIL-P-83348 : Metal powders for thermal spray coatings
MIL-DTL-5002 : Cleaning and surface treatments for aircraft and weapon systems
MIL-A-22771 :Aluminum alloy forgings
MIL-DTL-14067 :High-strength aluminum alloy castings (foundry)
MIL-S-22499 : Laminated metallic sheets and peelable shims (laminates)
Why centralize your MIL analyses at FILAB?
- Mastery of demanding environments
MIL standards, such as MIL-STD-810 (environmental tests) or MIL-DTL-5002 (corrosion), require a perfect understanding of interactions between the material and its environment. FILAB simulates and analyzes these degradations to guarantee the longevity of your equipment.
- Systematic receiving inspection
To secure your production flows, we perform systematic receiving inspections on bars, billets, and powders. This step is crucial to validate your suppliers' material certificates and avoid any non-compliance on your assembly lines.
- Accreditations and recognition
FILAB benefits from strong certifical qualification in the ASD sector with Safran, Dassault Aviation, and Framatome approvals, as well as ISO 17025 accreditation. Each analysis report is designed to be integrated directly into your military qualification dossiers.
Our FAQ
Because they often represent the highest degree of technical severity. A material validated according to MIL-T-9047 offers a guarantee of superior performance, sought after even outside the Defense sector.
- MIL-STD (Standard): Defines test methods or management criteria.
- MIL-DTL (Detail): Specifies the exact requirements of a product or material (e.g., chemical composition).
Can a MIL standard be substituted by an AMS or ISO standard? It depends on the contract. Often, SAE AMS 2770 replaces MIL-A-6088, but the technical requirements remain equivalent. FILAB advises you on these normative equivalences.
