Abstract Lanxide 92-X-2050 is an aluminum-10 Silicon-1 Magnesium-1 Iron alloy with 30 vol.% of silicon carbide particulate. This metal-matrix composite is designed to outperform the unreinforced counterpart. The alloy-matrix composite is available as die castings. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, and tensile properties as well as fatigue. It also includes information on casting. Filing Code: AL-343. Producer or source: Lanxide Corporation.

Nondestructive eddy current methods were used to evaluate the electrical conductivity behavior of silicon-carbide particulate (SiCp) reinforced aluminum (Al) metal-matrix composite extrusions. The composites investigated included 2124, 6061 and 7091 Al base alloys reinforced by SiCp. The composite extrusions exhibited anisotropic conductivities with the maximum conductivity occurring along the extrusion plane. Microstructural characterization showed that the observed anisotropic conductivities could result from the preferred orientation distribution of SiCp. A theoretical model was formulated to quantify the influence of composite constituents (SiCp, intermetallics and Al base alloy) on the anisotropic conductivities of the composites. The theoretical predictions of conductivities were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results.
