XTALIUM®
XTALIUM® is a breakthrough in electroplated aluminum technology, delivering unmatched strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight efficiency. Engineered with a unique nanostructure, XTALIUM combines the strength of steel with the lightweight benefits of aluminum. The supersaturated solid solution nature of the alloys boost corrosion and eliminate stress corrosion cracking. Developed with Xtalic’s proprietary materials design platform, XTALIUM is transforming key industries by improving product performance and reducing environmental impact.
Superior Strength – Matches the strength of steel while remaining lightweight.
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance – Protects aluminum, magnesium, and other substrates from degradation in harsh environments.
Scalable Thickness – Ranges from 50 nanometers to 1 millimeter for various applications.
Thermal Stability – Thermodynamically engineered to withstand temperatures up to 300°C.
Electrically Conductive – Approximately 10% IACS for electrical application needs.
Three versions of XTALIUM nanostructured aluminum alloys configured for various mechanical property profiles, each with strengths far exceeding those available from traditional aluminum alloys.
Lightweighting for Performance – Reduces overall component weight, improving feel in consumer applications and boosting fuel efficiency in automotive and aerospace applications.
Enhanced Durability and Corrosion Protection – Provides a tough protective layer on top of susceptible alloys, like magnesium and low grade aluminum, extending product lifespan.
Versatile Manufacturing Capabilities – Can be applied as a coating or electroformed into complex shapes for structural applications.
Sustainable & Cost-Effective – Enables the use of light weight but corrosion-prone materials by engineering the surface to enhance their performance.
