S260 AM is a high-performance aluminium alloy for additive manufacturing, engineered especially for challenging applications that require high wear resistance. The fine matrix structure of silicon particles together with Cu and Mg elements allow to manufacture components that are natively resistant to the highest of wears activities. Because the silicon is evenly distributed across the part, the outstanding properties are achievable without the need of additional coating, for a long lasting and permanent effect.

Typical applications: oil pump gears, hydraulic manifolds, spoolvalves
