3M has developed a high performance, high strength, metal matrix composite material reinforced with the 3M’ Nextel’ Ceramic Oxide Fiber 610. This non-magnetic, low-density material has the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight and has excellent performance at high temperature. Products have been manufactured using traditional aluminum alloys, such as 354, 356, and 6061, and also pure Al and Al-2%Cu. Application and desired performance determine the alloy that is used, as well as the vol. % of Nextel fibres. Common pressure infiltration technologies can be used to manufacture the part, including pressure, squeeze, and die casting. After infiltration, heat treatment can be used to harden the alloy. A final machining is done to ensure precision surfaces.
