Materion Corporation products

Mechanical and electronic components can be subjected to extremely high temperatures, so the materials used to make those components must be able to withstand the heat—and perform reliably. Materion’s nickel beryllium Alloy 360 can withstand periodic rises in temperature, up to 700°F (350°C), while maintaining good spring characteristics. This makes it ideal for high temperature environments like thermostats, bellows, diaphragms, burn-in and test sockets (BiTS) and even Belleville washers used in fire protection sprinkler heads.

Challenging environments such as automotive and defense applications require materials with enhanced mechanical properties. Materion’s AMC^® 4632 alloy is a high-quality aluminum silicon material that is manufactured by a powder metallurgy method that refines the microstructure, resulting in unique property sets. When using this alloy to replace existing materials, it can help with weight reduction and can improve stability at elevated temperatures. AMC 4632 alloy may be machined to a fine surface finish and tolerances using high-speed techniques.
