Overview
Ferrium M54 (AMS 6516; MMPDS-09) is an alternative to other high-strength steels, such as 300M, 4340 and AMS 6532, with added performance and processing benefits. M54 is ultra-high strength and high fracture toughness, making it ideal for use in structural aerospace and oil exploration applications.
Key benefits include:
- Superior resistance to stress corrosion cracking, while maintaining toughness
- Enabler of system weight reduction and/or increased power density
- Enhanced thermal stability for high temperature applications
- High hardenability for robust thermal processing
Applications
New applications for M54 are frequently discovered by designers. Historically, such applications typically include:
- Flight critical aerospace components such as landing gear
- Downhole and drilling tools for oil and gas
- Power transmission components for high performance racing
- Structural components for the energy industry
