Powder Metallurgy - General Information:
The aim of modern powder metallurgy is to optimize the properties of materials for specific applications due to the nearly endless combination of metal powders.
The raw materials are compacted to a solid component by convenient methods.
The quality of the metal powders is very important. Alulight® International GmbH profit s from the knowledge of ECKA-GRANULES appropriated over the past decades.
The powder mixtures are compacted using extrusion technologies. This represents an additional technology besides existing sinter technologies, especially for components with 2-dimensional geometries.
Alulight® International GmbH uses this acquired know-how in the field of powder metallurgic processing of aluminium to:
- create new materials with improved properties and performance which are difficult or impossible to process by casting or working ; e.g. macro- and microcomposite materials
- adjust very homogenous microstructures.
- produce materials with few inclusions
AlSi14MgCu: smooth and homogenous silicone allocation due to powder extrusion
Application Potentials:
- Automotive industry
- Aircraft industry
- Elektrotechnology
- Household appliances
