SupremEX® 215XK MMC is a high quality, aerospace-grade aluminum alloy (2009) reinforced with 15 vol.% silicon carbide particles. This composite material is manufactured via powder metallurgy using a mechanical alloying process to ensure a homogeneous reinforcement distribution, providing a refined grain structure and enhancing mechanical properties. SupremEX 215XK is heat treatable, offering high strength and modulus for structural applications. It is available in billet, forged and extruded forms. Designation: – 2009/SiC/15p (5 µm). Benefits - Weight saving versus titanium alloys
- High fatigue and fretting fatigue resistance
- Increased modulus versus aluminum alloys
- Hardness, wear resistance and low friction characteristics
- Good machinability using conventional techniques
- Homogenous and stable microstructure
