| Abstract | This paper will focus on the development of aluminum beryllium materials, AlBeMet? 162 and AlBeMet? 140, for applications requiring improved weight reduction, higher thermal performance, improved stiffness, and improved damping over aluminum and other materials.
The paper will also discuss the development of AlBeMet? 140 thin gauge sheet, 0.010? (0.254 mm) thickness, as a skin material for honeycomb panel applications, as a replacement for standard aluminum and composite materials. The paper will also discuss some technology efforts under way on extrusion and forging developments with this new grade of AlBeMet?. |
