  • Metal-Matrix Composites
    Metal-matrix composites are either in use or prototyping for the Space Shuttle, commercial airliners, electronic substrates, bicycles, automobiles, golf clubs, and a variety of other applications. While the vast majority are aluminum matrix composites, a growing number of applications require
  • Joining Composites
    used for composites. Several factors should be considered when specifying fasteners for composite materials: Aluminum and stainless-steel fasteners expand and contract when exposed to temperature extremes, as in aircraft applications. In carbon-fiber composites, contraction and expansion
  • Now aluminum tools can replace steel in high-volume molding
    A plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process from transforms aluminum tool surfaces into a chrome-free complex ceramic composite. This lets aluminum tooling replace steel in molding processes ranging from less aggressive blow molding and vacuum forming, to injection and resin-bonded sand core
  • Application Newsletter-UID Marking Aluminum with the i-Series Fiber Laser
    or dual head configuration. Integrated design with laser, laser control and power supplies are in one housing for each of the two scan heads. UID Marking Application Report: Aluminum samples were processed using a Pulsed fiber laser (1060nm wavelength, 1mJ @ 50kHz, 50W average) through a 160mm F-theta
  • Ceramic-Matrix Composites
    vapor deposition. A thick layer of silicon carbide is deposited on a thin fiber substrate of tungsten or carbon. Diameter of the final product is about 140 m. Although developed initially to reinforce aluminum and titanium matrices,
  • Composite cylinders get user friendly
    of sizes and configurations. A new generation of cylinder tubing, however, lets designers take advantage of high-performance composites, along with lower costs and greater design flexibility. Composite cylinders outperform their steel and aluminum counterparts in several significant ways. For instance
  • Composites lighten up A380 seats
    To reduce the weight of aircraft seats, a major seat manufacturer switched several of its seating elements from aluminum to carbon-fiber-reinforced composites. Aircraft seating parts including lumbar and thigh supports, armrest table covers, and shields for in-flight video screens made of Tepex

    and possibly most-important aviation material since aluminum alloys were developed in the 1920s. They consist of a matrix or resins, such as epoxies and polyamides, embedded with reinforcements, including glass, boron, and carbon fibers. Although the finished materials are strong and lightweight
