ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is a global leader in Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) testing for the Aerospace industry, helping you characterize your next-generation materials and develop your products with the properties needed for lightweight and extreme high-temperature applications.
Advantages of ceramic matrix composites in Aerospace
Components manufactured from ceramic matrix composites combine the heat resistance of ceramics with improved structural strength, performing at exceedingly higher temperatures upwards of 3,000°F. As the practical application of CMCs increases, so does the need to understand the mechanical properties of your materials to ensure they perform as expected.
CMCs will play an important role over the coming decades as gas turbine OEMs continue to push the limits of fuel efficiency and performance while decreasing weight.
Our ceramic matrix composites capabilities
Because of the unique requirements of testing in extreme environments, gathering pertinent data requires specialized equipment and extensive experience. Our Engaged Experts have developed their knowledge of CMC properties by partnering with our clients from their initial R&D efforts to providing repeatable, relevant testing protocols.
With a thorough understanding of CMCs, we help you ensure your materials are safe, quality, compliant, and fit for purpose.
The ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ advantage
Our Experts are on leading boards: ASTM D30, ASTM C28 and CMH-17
ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is a proactive participant and leader within the international advanced composites community with active membership in ASTM D30 (Committee on Composite Materials), ASTM C28 (Committee on Advanced Ceramics), and CMH-17 (Committee for the Composite Materials Handbook), NADCAP, and A2LA.
We bring you the expertise of our network of engineering professionals, combining their extensive aerospace material testing experience with our state-of-the-art testing facilities to ensure certainty in your products and confidence to go to market quickly and safely.
