Aluminium alloy 2124 reinforced with 25 volume % silicon carbide particles (average size 3 micron). It is manufactured by a powder metallurgy route using high-energy mixing to ensure excellent particle distribution and to
enhance mechanical properties. Good machinability - use diamond tools and high feed/speed for best results. Information provided by Aerospace Metal Composites Limited (AMC), acquired by Materion in 2012. |
