Balanced property combinations deliver unmatched results in aircraft structures and engine components, defense optical systems, satellite structures, astronomical telescopes and automotive powertrain components.
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.
Few operating environments are harsher than those encountered in aerospace and defense applications. Rapid changes and extremes in temperature, friction and vibration can threaten the integrity of mission-critical components. Our metal matrix composites are engineered to address the challenges of our aerospace customers.
