Rolls-Royce announces that it is growing its presence in Southern California, with a $30 million expansion into a new 62,000 square foot facility that will be dedicated to research and development of ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

GE Aviation’s two new plants will help to establish a supply chain for CMCs needed for rapidly expanding jet engine demand, in particular the LEAP turbofan engine. It already is producing super-alloy ...

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are made of coated ceramic fibers surrounded by a ceramic matrix. They are tough, lightweight and capable of withstanding temperatures 300-400 degrees F hotter ...

Engineers at the National Composites Centre (NCC) have completed a European first by manufacturing Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) using Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) technology, paving the way for ...

High-temperature ceramic matrix composites represent a critical class of materials engineered to withstand extreme thermal, mechanical and chemical stresses. These composites integrate ...

What are Ceramic Matrix Composites? Composite materials typically consist of two components: a reinforcement part to provide mechanical strength and a matrix material that holds all the components ...

According to Jacob Nuechterlein, co-founder and solutions developer for Elementum 3D, the aluminum alloy used in the company’s newly invented metal matrix composite (MMC) is not 3D-printable on its ...
