Metal matrix composites (MMCs) are composite materials containing at least two constituent parts – a metal part and a material or a different metal part. The metal matrix is reinforced with the other ...

For years, there has been a growing demand for materials that are lightweight with high mechanical strength. Metal matrix composites (MMCs) were developed in order to fulfill this demand and provide ...

As opposed to conventional metal alloys, metal matrix composites (MMCs) possess inimitable physical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and mechanical properties that make them most suitable in today’s ...

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 ...

In a development that could mean big things in the automotive andmarine industries, researchers from Deep Springs Technology (DST) and the NewYork University Polytechnic School of Engineering have ...

Engineers can now tailor their thermal-management, packaging, and interconnection needs with a low-cost, metal-matrix composite material made of aluminum, silicon ...

MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) announced that the Society of Automotive Engineers - Aerospace Material Specification Nonferrous Alloys Committee (SAE-AMS) ...

Injection overmolding has been much in the composites industry news lately, but primarily in the realm of creating hybrid composites. Shaped continuous fiber-reinforced prepregs or pre-cured composite ...

Engineering researchers have demonstrated that composite metal foams (CMFs) can pass so-called 'simulated pool fire testing' with flying colors, moving the material closer to use in applications such ...

Most engineers likely know the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is made primarily of carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. Considering that carbon fibers were first developed in the late 1960s, this is ...
