The perfect combination that allows modulating the two most important factors involving mechanical parts or assemblies, according to design needs:
• Physical performance intended as rigidity and resistance
• Weight, or rather lightness.
Carbon is the new frontier of materials, a substance that is revolutionizing numerous industries thanks to its extraordinary properties. With its incredible lightness and strength, it ensures exceptional performance in contexts that require high performance without adding weight to the structure. Carbon fiber, in particular, offers a unique combination of rigidity, durability, and flexibility, making it ideal for applications ranging from automotive to aerospace, and extending to the energy, construction, and automation industries.
• Elastic Modulus: E = 150 GPa / 250 GPa
• Tensile Strength: R = 1800 MPa / 2300 MPa
Ergal, technically known as aluminum alloy 7075, is renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties and versatility. Made primarily of aluminum with additions of zinc, magnesium, and copper, it offers a combination of lightness and strength, making it ideal for advanced applications.
• High mechanical strength: with a tensile strength of up to 572 MPa, Ergal is one of the strongest aluminum alloys available, comparable to some steels.
• Lightness: the density of Ergal is around 2.81 g/cm³, significantly lower than that of steel.
