CRP Technology 8601 Aerospace Grade Power Metallurgy Aluminum Alloy

For Motorsport and Aerospace marketplaces: manufactured by a special powder metallurgy process using a high-energy mixing process which ensures excellent mechanical properties.Super Aluminium materials, and therefore the new CRP 8601 alloy, are particularly suited for motorsport racing (other than F1) and for the aerospace sector. The key benefits of CRP 8601 for structural applications include:Weight savingIncreased component stiffnessHigh fatigue resistanceGood hardness & wear resistanceHigh flexibility of the billets shapes/dimensions for machiningCRP has achieved higher productivity and quality over traditional carbide tooling thanks to the high-speed machining, customized PCD tooling, excellent knowledge of the machining process and 100% quality control developed internally.The same skills allow now CRP to offer to his customers parts made by this new material and with high quality, high reliability and shape complexity. One of the main goals in Motorsport and Aerospace is to reach a very high stiffness of all mechanical components. The second main goal is to look for a lower weight for all structural parts. CRP 8601 is the best compromise between the highest stiffness and lower weight.Heat Treatment Designation and Process: T4 (CWQ). Solution Heat Treated at 505(±5)°C. Quenched in cold water. Aged at Room Temperature; stable condition is achieved after 100 hours.Information provided by CRP Technology.
