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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

Stratview Research announces the launch of a new research report on Ceramic Matrix Composites Market in Aircraft Engines by Aircraft Type (Commercial Aircraft, Business Jets, Military Aircraft, and ...

Two GE Aviation facilities producing advanced jet engine components recently passed major manufacturing milestones. GE Aviation’s Asheville, North Carolina, facility recently shipped its 100,000th ...

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 ...

Advanced Ceramic Fibers LLC (ACF, Idaho Falls, Idaho, U.S.) has developed patented processes and materials that enable ultra-high temperature (UHT) ceramic matrix composites (CMC) and metal matrix ...

Carbon fiber composites aren't a new thing in jet engine fan blades, including GE Aviation's. But every so often GE engineers have to redesign them to take advantage of advances in carbon composite ...

Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are made by reinforcing a polymer-based matrix with glass, carbon, or aramid fibers. PMCs are classified into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins based on the type ...
