Our composite materials are trusted by aerospace manufacturers for heat shielding, defense against micrometeorites and space debris, and the precise bonding of seals, gaskets, and tiles.
Axiom Materials is the world’s largest industrial producer of Oxide-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite prepreg materials. Axiom has invested in fully automated process equipment and test labs to produce an array of CMC material types:
1. What are aerospace composites and why are they important in aviation?
Aerospace composites are advanced materials made by combining two or more distinct substances—typically reinforcing fibers and a resin or ceramic matrix—to create lightweight, high-strength materials. This includes traditional polymer matrix composites as well as ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), which are critical for high-temperature applications like jet engines. These composites reduce aircraft weight, improve fuel efficiency, enhance performance, and offer superior resistance to fatigue and corrosion.
2. How are aerospace composites used in aircraft manufacturing?
Aerospace composites are widely used in aircraft components such as fuselage panels, wing structures, engine nacelles, and interior parts. While polymer-based composites are common for structural and non-structural applications, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are increasingly used in engine components and other high-heat areas to withstand extreme temperatures and improve efficiency.
3. What types of composite materials are commonly used in aerospace applications?
The most common aerospace composites include carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs), aramid-reinforced materials, and advanced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). Axiom Materials specializes in prepregs, resin systems, and ceramic matrix composite materials tailored specifically for the demanding performance and processing requirements of aerospace.
4. What benefits do Axiom Materials’ aerospace composites provide over traditional materials?
Axiom’s aerospace composites offer advantages such as reduced weight, improved fuel economy, higher fatigue resistance, and superior thermal stability. Our ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) further enable components to operate reliably at temperatures that would degrade traditional metal alloys, helping aerospace manufacturers achieve enhanced performance and durability.
