Introduction
ARK 600 is a composite coating of an aluminum matrix with ceramic particles (AlMg/Al2O3 and AlMg/SiC) which have high specific strengths and specific modules, low densities, good wear and corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity. They are often used in aerospace, defense, automotive, sports, and other fields (for example in Al2O3 particles). Reinforced aluminum matrix composites can be used for cylinder pistons, brake discs, cylinder heads, and other components.
Main features
- High specific strengths and specific modules
- Good wear and corrosion resistance
- Good resistance to high temperature oxidation corrosion
Typical applications
- Cylinder pistons, brake discs, cylinder heads
- Aircraft installations such as aircraft carrier deflectors, ship decks, and helicopter decks
- Offshore oil platforms in addition to other marine facilities and equipment
