Objective
The programme for the development of techniques for ceramic long fibre reinforcement, fibre preforms, design of automotive and aerospace components, production via new squeeze casting routes and liquid metal infiltration route and testing and evaluation of products manufactured both before and after test bed evaluation will permit the introduction of high performance metal matrix composite (MMC) materials on a commercial basis. The potential for weight savings, noise reduction and enhanced performance have been realised for some time and put to technical and commercial advantage in both the United States of American and Japan. The major objectives of this programme are to enable European automotive and aerospace companies to develop technology which will enable them to catch up and surpass overseas competitors and gain an increased world share of the market in these areas. The programme will enable the technical benefits of MMC materials to be related to the fundamental understanding of the interaction of metal fibre interfaces, component design and processability.
