DWA 6092/SiC/25p-T6 Aluminum SiC Metal-Matrix-Composite (Al MMC), Extruded

Categories: Metal; Metal Matrix Composite; Nonferrous Metal; Aluminum Alloy; 6000 Series Aluminum Alloy

Material 6092/SiC/25p is a powder metallurgy Al MMC comprised of AA6092 aluminum and 25 Vol% Silicon Carbide particles. It is
Notes: available in vacuum-hot-pressed billet, extruded, forged and sheet product forms. It is suggested for aerospace applications
such as helicopter gearbox bearing liners. Its combination of enhanced strength and stiffness, along with high hardness and
moderately low CTE cannot be matched by monolithic aluminum alloys.
