AMS4368 Aluminum Alloy, Discontinuously Reinforced Hot Isostatically Pressed Shapes 6061B/SiC/40p (3μm) (T1P)

This specification covers discontinuously reinforced aluminum alloy (DRA) metal matrix composites (MMC) made by mechanical alloying of 6061B aluminum powder and SiC particulate, which is then consolidated by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) into shapes between 12 to 100 in² (0.008 to 0.065 m²) cross-section inclusive. Tensile property response to heat treatment has been demonstrated on samples of 1 in² (645 mm²) maximum cross section (see 8.9).
