Materials

AMC has developed materials to provide a combination of mechanical and physical properties that can not be achieved through conventional materials or process techniques.

AMC produces Aluminium/Silicon Carbide Particulate MMCs with class-leading mechanical properties that is easy to process and machine.  Products are based on AA2124 and AA6061 alloy systems, reinforced with up to 40% ultra-fine SiC particulate.  Material is available as billet, plate, forging stock, bulk and precision extrusion. Standard grades include:

AMC225xe, AMC640xa, AMC217xe

AMC produces an Aluminium/Boron Carbide Particulate MMC offering similar mechanical properties to its Silicon Carbide reinforced counterpart but with a significant weight saving. The product is based on AA2124  alloy, reinforced with 20% ultra-fine Boron Carbide particulate.  Product forms include billet, plate and bulk extrusion.
