Aermet-100 is a martensitic steel alloy with nickel, cobalt, and iron as the main components. It has high tensile strength and fracture toughness as well as exceptional ductility and toughness. Aermet-100 is weldable with no preheating needed and is commonly available in forms including billet, bar, and sheet. It is a registered trademark of Carpenter Technology Corporation and is protected under the patents 5,087,415 and 5,268,044.

[edit] Chemical Composition

The alloy composition of Aermet-100 is:

Carbon minimum 0.2%, maximum 0.33% by weight
Chromium minimum 2%, maximum 4%
Nickel minimum 10.5%, maximum 15%
Molybdenum minimum 0.75%, maximum 1.75%
Cobalt minimum 8%, maximum 17%
Remainder iron

[edit] Mechanical Properties

Aermet-100 is heat treated at 1625°C for an hour. It then can be aged for 5 to 8 hours to a tensile strength of 280-300 ksi or 290-310 ksi at temperatures of 900°C and 875°C respectively. In use, Aermet-100 must be kept away from moisture as it is not corrosion resistant. The alloy has a modulus of elasticity of 28,200 ksi. A table of properties can be found here. [1]
