Maximum weight savings with minimal wear
AMC - the future of lightweight construction
Aluminium + Silicon Carbide = AMC
50% weight reduction, 4x less wear, 100% less corrosion, 25% greater stiffness,
30% less thermal expansion than traditional materials such as gray cast iron
Our products
Powder
Genuine metal matrix composite powder in which the ceramic reinforcement (SiC) is embedded in the aluminum particles - not just mixed in. It enables lightweight, wear-resistant, and reliable 3D printing and coatings with easy processing.
Benefits
- Very low wear rate due to homogeneous SiC reinforcement
- Easy handling - can be processed like standard aluminium powder
- Flexible application: from 3D-printed prototypes to coating series in the millions
Ingots
For use in existing foundry processes, we supply our AMC material in the form of ingots or bars—alloyed and reinforced for specific applications.
Benefits
- Continuously embedded in your own production process
- Suitable for series production
- Use of secondary aluminium
- 100% recyclable (cradle-to-cradle)
Semi-finished products and bars
For mechanical processing, we offer AMC semi-finished products such as rods, blanks, and near-net shapes that can be customized to suit individual requirements.
Benefits
- Variable diameters for different wire and rod processing methods
- Formable alloys for rolling, forging, drawing
- Special shapes for customer-specific applications are possible
