Arceon (Delft, Netherlands) produces a family of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) called Carbeon which comprise uncoated carbon fiber reinforcement in a carbon-silicon carbide matrix (C/C-SiC) made ...

Demand continues to increase for ceramic matrix composites (CMC), which enable reduced weight and high performance at higher temperatures versus metals. This increases efficiency in engines, ...

What are Ceramic Matrix Composites? Composite materials typically consist of two components: a reinforcement part to provide mechanical strength and a matrix material that holds all the components ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials are made of coated ceramic fibers surrounded by a ceramic matrix. They are tough, lightweight and capable of withstanding temperatures 300-400 degrees F hotter ...

AZoMaterials spoke to Scott Mittl, Vice President of Sales at Insaco®, about how composite materials are defined, how composites are machined by Insaco, and the expected direction of CMC materials in ...

It's taken a long time to tweak ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) so they can be produced in high volumes, but the time has finally come. Aircraft engine leader GE Aviation has broken ground on the ...

Five years after breaking ground, GE Aviation is investing an additional $105M in its Asheville, North Carolina, production facility to meet growing demand for the ceramic matrix composite (CMC) ...

Decarbonization goals call for advancing high-impact energy technologies. The U.S. has pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, a goal that presents both challenges and opportunities in the ...

China is working on a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) but lacks practical applications of such material, says a leading Chinese researcher in the field. More than 4,000 CMC articles have been made for ...
