The main alloying elements are cobalt and nickel, but chromium, molybdenum and carbon are also added.
Its exceptional properties are hardness, tensile strength, fracture toughness and ductility.
[3] AerMet alloy is not corrosion resistant, so it must be sealed if used in a moist environment.
[2] AerMet alloy is special in that it must be hardened twice in order to reach its maximum effectiveness.
Standard shapes include round bar, wire, billet, plate, and strip.
