Aluminides

Goodfellow offers a range of aluminides, intermetallic compounds of aluminum with other metals, for specialized research and industrial applications. These materials are known for their excellent high-temperature strength, low density, and good oxidation resistance. Aluminides maintain their mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making them valuable in aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. In aerospace, they are used in turbine engine components exposed to high temperatures. The automotive industry employs aluminides in exhaust system parts and valve components. In the energy sector, these materials find applications in power plant components and heat exchangers. Emerging technologies leveraging aluminides include advanced gas turbine designs and high-efficiency combustion systems. Goodfellow's provision of high-quality aluminides supports ongoing research into high-temperature materials and lightweight structural solutions. Their unique combination of properties ensures aluminides' continued importance in both scientific research and industrial innovations, particularly in applications requiring materials that perform reliably under extreme thermal conditions while offering weight savings.
