Tactical & Combat Vehicle Lightweighting with A206
The Preferred Alloy For Combat Vehicle Lightweighting
Vehicle design begins with targets on weight, performance and cost. When performance is tied to weight and cost, then aluminum castings are under consideration for structures, driveline, suspensions and powertrain.
When the performance is extreme, as in a tactical or a combat vehicle, then the tough A206 aluminum separates from the rest. Still produced in a lightweight, near-net shape casting, yet is significantly better in fatigue, damage tolerance and toughness. Proven in combat vehicles since the 1970’s.
For your next project in UTV’s, JLTV, AMPV, OMFV, XM30, M10, RCV — let’s make it strong, light and reliable!
