Applications
Metal Matrix Composites
Embedding reinforcing members such as boron and silicon
carbide fibers or stainless steel meshes into metal matrices
is simple with Ultrasonic Additive Manufacturing. Since the
process can be interrupted and modified at any point,
structural components can be augmented into any metal matrix
to form superior, high performance composite structures. These
advanced materials can be stiff and lightweight, the perfect
combination for high stress, weight-critical environments.
- Strong, lightweight superstructures
- Advanced welding process non-detrimental to reinforcement material
- CNC based part fabrication
- Low cost matrix and reinforcement materials
