Nikon SLM Solutions' AlSi7Mg0.6 is an aluminum-based alloy, which is often used in applications requiring excellent thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance or tolerance to strain.
Material characteristicsNikon SLM Solutions aluminium-based alloy F357 features a reduced silicon content of around 7 %, leading to increased mechanical properties, while still maintaining exceptional weldability. F357 is almost identical to the commonly known casting alloy A357, except it is completely free of the toxic element beryllium. F357 is in accordance with AlSi7Mg0.6 and already today in extended usage within aerospace or automotive applications.
Material characteristicsAheadd® CP1 combines a unique set of properties such as moderate strength and elongation similar to 6000 series alloys, high thermal stability and high conductivity, low weight, high corrosion resistance, and low anisotropy with good surface finish and ability to be anodized. These properties enable a wide range of applications such as thermal management systems or structural parts in automotive and motorsports, aerospace, marine and many more.
Material characteristicsMany applications require low density components with high strength structural parts without compromising ductility, a combination that not all Al-Alloys are able to achieve. Scalmalloy is a high strength Al-Alloy deigned for the SLM® Process to have these properties, resulting in high specific strength similar to Ti6Al4V alloys. Combined with good corrosion resistance and ability to anodize or apply other surface treatments, Scalmalloy is used often in structural parts and other components in a range of environments including Aerospace environments, Marine and high performance Motorsports.
Material characteristicsA2024-RAM2C is a high-strength aluminum material that also combines good ductility and wear resistance, due to the added ceramic. A2024-RAM2C is highly suited for structural parts at elevated temperatures, such as engine components. The material is heat treatable to achieve best properties.
