FIA approves ApWorks’ additive manufacturing aluminium alloy for the use in Formula One
The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has reportedly approved Scalmalloy, an aluminium-magnesium-scandium powder alloy designed for metal 3D printing technologies, from ApWorks for Formula One.
The alloy has a very high tensile strength (UTS 520 MPa) and yield strength (480 MPa). It also boasts for having excellent ductility (Elongation 13 per cent), natural corrosion-resistant properties, and a very high degree of microstructural stability with respect to thermal ageing.
Besides, thanks to the low density of the material, Scalmalloy from ApWorks exhibits exceptional specific properties compared to other aluminium alloys in the market.
The combination of excellent material properties in the alloy makes it a choice for high-performance applications, such as in the motorsports industry. The amalgamation of high strength and low density in Scalmalloy enables topology optimised lightweight structural components that help in mass distribution with the regulation weight limit.
Scalmalloy was specifically developed for additive manufacturing. It is the world’s first material specifically developed for additive manufacturing.
