Superior Die Set FORTAL® HP Aluminum Alloy
Categories:	Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Aluminum Alloy
Material Notes:	Description: FORTAL is a high strength, lightweight, easy to machine alloy, originally developed to be used in the aerospace industry. It can be found whenever a structure is highly solicited and doesn't require a very high ratio of resistance/mass. FORTAL offers machinability, high resistance to corrosion, and leads to increased productivity. FORTAL's modulus of elasticity is one third that of steel, and can absorb three times as much shock and vibration in its elastic phase. FORTAL is solution heat-treated, stabilized, artificially aged and stress relieved by stretching. Application: FORTAL is an ideal material for all types of products and tooling since it is stronger than 1020 steels. Information provided by Superior Die Set.
