example 2
[0018] A metal matrix composite memory disk substrate was made from an aluminum matrix composite. The aluminum matrix composite contained from about 40 wt % calcium hexaboride particles having an average particle size of about 10 microns and the remainder being aluminum metal. The resulting memory disk substrate was light, strong, abrasion resistant and ductile.
example 3
[0019] A metal matrix composite actuator arm for a hard drive was made from an aluminum matrix composite. The aluminum matrix composite contained about 30 wt % calcium hexaboride particles having an average particle size of about 50 microns and the remainder being A356 aluminum metal. The resulting actuator arm for a hard drive was light, strong, abrasion resistant and unexpectedly ductile.
[0020] An unexpected increase in ductility was observed in the products made by the addition of calcium hexaboride particles into the metal matrix composites relative to other metal composites.
[0021] Magnesium and titanium have low specific gravities similar to that of aluminum. Accordingly, metal matrix composites of these metals with calcium hexaboride is within the scope of the present invention.
[0022] From the foregoing, it will be understood that improved metal matrix composites of aluminum, magnesium and titanium are achieved by the addition of calcium hexaboride particles. The composition c...
