  1. M etals L ight P owder High Performance Aluminium Fields of Operation Development Production Marketing PM High Performance- Aluminium (micro-crystalline and nano-crystalline) Semi’s Blanks Components

  2. M etals L ight P owder High Performance Aluminium Co-operations for Development and Production Powder Light Metals co-operates with chosen partners, universities and institutes worldwide on development and production optimisation • ECKA Granules Powder feedstock • FCT Systeme GmbH, Rauenstein FAST direct compaction • Morphic Technology, Sweden Adiabatic metal forming • Technical University of Berlin Extrusion optimisation • IFAM Dresden Alloy and process development • University of Stuttgart Metal forming • University of Lueven, Belgium Alloy and process development • Aluminiumwerke Unna Extrusion • Otto Fuchs Indirect extrusion

  3. M etals L ight P owder High Performance Aluminium Sales and Marketing Organisation Powder Light Metals is active worldwide in sales and marketing • Burger Consulting GmbH Germany • Stadele Consulting and Engineering Italy and Germany • Aluminium Solutions in association United Kingdom and USAwith Aluminium Special Products

  4. M etals L ight P owder High Performance Aluminium Requirements for high Performance Aluminium Alloys • Highest strength in combination with good fracture toughness • High strength for medium temperatures up to 400 OC • High Specific Stiffness • Excellent wear resistance • Extremely low co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) • Good thermal and/or electrical conductivity • Superior corrosion resistance in different environments • Good formability using standard equipment • Good machinability • Ease of recycling

  5. M etals L ight P owder High Performance Aluminium Why Powder Metallurgy/Rapid Solidification? • Development and production of new micro-crystalline or nano- crystalline high performance alloys with improved properties by: - increased alloy content - additional alloying elements - superior homogeneous microstructure - nano-crystalline or quasi-crystalline microstructure • Improved hardening mechanisms from traditional precipitation hardening to dispersion strengthening or a combination of both. • Conversion of cast alloys to wrought alloys (AlSi…) • Tailor made alloys for specific applications (design for application)
