Aermet 100 is an alloy characterized by strength and high hardness, in addition to incredible toughness and ductility.
Developed for applications requiring high strength, Aermet 100 also features high fracture toughness and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking and fatigue.
The alloy is subject to decarburization during hardening and heat treatment must take place in a neutral atmosphere furnace, salt bath or vacuum.
Aermet 100 applications include landing gear, fasteners, actuators, jet engine shafts, armor, drive shafts, ballistic tolerant components, and structural tubing.
