Innovative forming technology for metal matrix composites

Objective

The aerospace and automotive industries are eager to achieve structural weight savings, improve engine efficiency, reduce operating costs and environmental impact. The use of powder metallurgy (PM) processed metal matrix composites (MMCs) will enable these objectives to be met and have a major impact on performance. The main obstacles to their wide application are a) they are currently too expensive to replace traditional materials b) recycling issues must be addressed. The solution to these problems is to develop "one shot " direct powder (DP) technologies to produce precise to form components to eliminate process steps and expensive machining and use in combination with low cost alloy forms, such as recycled machining waste, defective and/ or end of life components
