| AyontEX™ alloys are a series of hypereutectic aluminum-silicon alloys containing micron-sized silicon particles in an aluminum alloy matrix. This ultrafine reinforcement provides several key benefits: high specific stiffness and strength, reduced coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), excellent fatigue performance, improved damping, low friction and outstanding wear resistance. The applications for AyontEX alloys are varied and include mirrors, support structures, optical housings, electronic housings, waveguide structures, adapters and interface components.Information provided by Materion. |
