AMC217xe

Material Grade:

AMC217xe

 

Material Type:

Metal Matrix Composite - Silicon Carbide Particle Reinforced Aluminium Alloy

 

Description:

AMC217xe is an aluminium alloy (AA2124) reinforced with a high percentage (17% by volume) of ultrafine particles of silicon carbide.  It is manufactured by a powder metallurgy route using high energy mixing to ensure excellent particle distribution and to enhance its mechanical properties.

 

This material offers a high tensile modulus, good strength and fatigue strengths well in excess of high performance aluminium alloys, whilst retaining good ductility and formability.  The alloy may be forged, extruded, rolled or machined to shape.
