Bullen Ultrasonics' Eric Norton to Speak at CMS Conference on Ultrasonic Machining of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) ...

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 ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced ultra-high-temperature ceramic (UHTC) matrix composites are extensively used in space shuttles and high-speed vehicles. However, these composites suffer from a lack of ...

A nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material in which one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of below 100 nm, or structures with nanoscale repeat distances between the different phases ...

Composites Horizons LLC is investing $12 million in new equipment and processes, in part for ceramic matrix composite production in its fourth building in Covina, Calif. Historically, the firm made ...

At GE Aviation's ceramics lab in Newark, Del., workers load molded CMC forms into an autoclave, to set the shape prior to thermal processing, to remove the polymer and leave “a hollow shell” of ...

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have emerged as a critical class of materials for demanding high-temperature applications due to their unique combination of properties, including: However, ...

An extruded wood polymer composite (WPC) green body that has then been carbonized into a porous preform and then processed via silicon melt infiltration into a high-performance silicon carbide (SiC) ...

CMCs are made up of two major components: a reinforcing material for strength and stiffness and a matrix material to hold the composite together. CMCs have both ceramic reinforcement and matrix. This ...

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 ...
