Al MMC Manufacturing
Contact a Technical Advisor

DWA-USA's Al MMC manufacturing process can be divided into three elements- primary processing, secondary processing and finishing.  Unlike other composite materials, after primary processing of the billet, Al MMCs offer a high level of “fit, form and function” when inserted into the industrial manufacturing stream, making use of conventional facilities and equipment.

Density Adjusted Properties of Aluminum MMCs Compared to Steel, Titanium and Aluminum

density-adjusted-properties-of-aluminum-mmcs

One of the clear advantages of Al MMCs compared to conventional metallic materials is greatly enhanced strength and stiffness. These property gains are achieved without impacting material density, so the specific properties of Al MMC are dramatically increased. Al MMCs are also isotropic composite materials. Their design space is not dependent on reinforcement orientation.
