From CRP Technology a new Aluminium Alloy. CRP 8601
CRP Technology has launched a brand new product on the market.
It is not a castable product.
This material may successfully overcome high performance aluminium alloys such as: 7075, 7050, 2014, 2024, 2618, and others.
F1 industry uses MMC materials (i.e. AMC 225xe) while Super Aluminium materials, and therefore the new CRP 8601 alloy, are particularly suited for all the other motorsport racing series and for the aerospace sector.
The key benefits of CRP 8601 for structural applications include:
- Weight saving
- Increased component stiffness
- High fatigue resistance
- Good hardness & wear resistance
- High flexibility of the billets shapes/dimensions for machining
CRP Technology has achieved higher productivity and quality over traditional carbide tooling thanks to the high-speed machining, customized PCD tooling, excellent knowledge of the machining process and 100% quality control developed internally.
One of the main goals in Motorsport and Aerospace is to reach a very high stiffness of all mechanical components. The second main goal is to look for a lower weight for all structural parts. CRP 8601 is the compromise between the highest stiffness and lower weight.
Sizes and Shapes availables
A flexible, tailored manufacturing process permits the rapid manufacture of custom blanks without the need for a forging process or tooling. Using custom blanks helps reduce costs by avoiding the purchase of excess material and minimising machining time.
As well as rectangular blocks and cylinders, simple 2-D shapes can be produced to match the plan shape of a given component. Tubular shapes are also possible. The maximum single dimension available is 700mm and if required, blanks up to 200kg can be produced.

It is very nice Information.can you give me information on piezo electric material.
Hi!
CRP8601 is not a piezoelectric material…
Are you interested in any other materials? if you tell me what you are looking for exactly, I can try to check and find some useful info for you…
Ciao, Livia
hello…is the 8601 is one of the 8000 series in aluminium alloys?? and is it widely used in aerospace?
hi!
actually i want to know the application
of 8000 series in aluminium alloys expecially in aerospace,but its difficult to find.please give me a information of this.
