New Specification for SupremEX 640XA Provides
Additional Materials Option for Engineers
Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) announced that the Society of
Automotive Engineers - Aerospace Material specification Nonferrous
Alloys Committee (SAE-AMS) has approved specification of AMS4368
for Materion's SupremEX® 640XA. The AMS specification allows
engineers to reference a national standard for material properties
and ensures supply is available to meet demand. This is Materion’s
second AMS specification for a SupremEX metal matrix composite.
A high quality aerospace grade aluminum composite, SupremEX
640XA, is used heavily in applications for national defense,
aviation and space. It provides improved performance in aero-engine
components and aircraft structures because it is 60 percent lighter
than steel and 36 percent lighter than titanium, yet offers high
strength, stiffness and fatigue properties that significantly
increase a component's capability and useful life.
SupremEX also provides superior damage tolerance and improved
wear resistance when compared to conventional alloys. With a low
coefficient of thermal expansion, components made of this composite
will not deform over the range of temperatures experienced during
flight.
“Other Materion aerospace-grade products have earned SAE-AMS
specifications, including SupremEX 225XE, so we understand the
value of this designation,” said W. Glenn Maxwell, President,
Materion Performance Alloys and Composites. “With this
specification, it’s much easier and faster for engineers to include
the material in their designs and recommend it to new customers. In
fact, many engineers will not consider using materials without
SAE-AMS specifications.”
SupremEX 640XA is reinforced with 40 percent silicon carbide
particles and is manufactured using a proprietary mechanical
alloying process to ensure a homogenous reinforcement distribution.
It provides a refined grain structure and enhanced mechanical
properties, making it an ideal replacement for aluminum, titanium,
steel and other structural alloys and composites.
