Aluminium material and process for producing an aluminium material

The invention provides a metal matrix composite material produced from a powder mixture having a composition comprising aluminium with a purity of at least 95.0% and comprising hexagonal boron nitride and up to 2% of its weight of separating agent, characterized by up to 1% of its weight of hexagonal boron nitride. The invention additionally provides a process for producing such a metal matrix composite material, characterized by the steps of: - comminuting the aluminium powder mechanically or by water atomization or gas atomization and - mixing the material constituents, in powder form, and - processing the mixture by primary forming or extrusion or sintering or 3D printing to given an ingot, semifinished component or component part.
