Space Tech Expo USA 2024, anyone?
There’s a growing amount of Aluminum Alloy parts in Space.
Why is that?
Let us list 7 benefits of Aluminum Alloys in Aerospace applications: lightweight, high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, compatibility with composites, relative cost-effectiveness (for instance, in comparison with Titanium Alloy parts).
Additive Manufacturing of Aluminum Alloy powders adds further value:
- complex, customized shapes are made possible and that allows further weight reduction and optimized thermal management;
- the possibility to execute rapid prototyping and re-iterate the design process;
- the supply chain gets simplified, with benefits in terms of lead times and costs.
Today VALIMET, Inc. offers 15 Aluminum Alloy powders and welcomes requests for Toll Atomization of proprietary alloys.
Our VP of Sales and Marketing, Luigi Alzati is going to attend the show – reach out to him!
