Material Notes:
Uses: punch and die in short run sheet metal forming; external and internal support for bending tubing extrusions; holding jet engine blades for machining and broaching; annealing and nitriding seals; nests for feeding stations.These silvery white alloys expand only ~3.3% of their volume when changing from liquid to solid form, which makes these alloys ideal for many industrial applications. AIM fusible alloys are rarely consumed in an operation and therefore can be remelted and used multiple times. These alloys are normally used in gravity casting but also can be used in other casting methods.Information provided by AIM Specialty Materials.
