Metal Matrix Composites

Satellite over Earth

Lighter, Stiffer, Stronger

Materion's metal matrix composites (MMCs) offer design engineers solutions to their most pressing challenges, including reducing weight, improving instrument panel stiffness or ensuring accuracy in changing temperatures and harsh conditions.

Our MMCs offer a balanced combination of properties unmatched by conventional metals and alloys. These materials are stronger, stiffer and lighter, making them ideal for critical components in demanding applications like aerospace, automotive, satellite structures and defense optical systems.
