Heat Treating Aermet 100

Heat Treating Aermet 100

Heat Treating Aermet 100

(OP)
Does anyone have any experience with heat treating / aging Aermet 100? How much does it distort or warp? Any recommendations as to rough machining, heat treating, then finish machining. Basically, what is the best manufacturing procedure to use?

Thanks

RE: Heat Treating Aermet 100

Aermet100 requires a double-step temper, with cryo treatment in between. It's properties can be sensitive to the time/temperature, especially of the first step. You might consider Ferrium M54 as an alternative with equivalent strength/toughness but reduced cobalt content to lower raw material costs and more robust, single-step temper treatment.
