Metal Matrix Composites are a recognized solution for US Military operations. Specifically called out on the US Munitions List, MMCs are the material of choice when standard metallic materials do not suffice. Programs have ranged from standard armor evaluation to Navy wear / corrosion platforms and Air Force temporary runways.
Beyond the thermal managment of next generation hybrid and electric military vehicles, MMCs can play a role in virtually all aspects of vehicular, armament or equipment designs. A sampling of applications might include:
Armor or Up-Armor Layers
Structure / Superstructure Materials
Engine and Powertrain Castings
Vibration Dampening Housings
CTE-Matched Housing for PCBs
Laser Components & Mechanicals
Wear Resistant Components
Much, much more . . .
