Innovative Ceramic Matrix Composite Solutions

Axiom Materials is the world’s largest industrial-scale producer of Oxide-Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composite pre-preg materials. The company is expanding its CMC portfolio to serve secular growth in Aerospace, Hypersonics, Electric Vehicles, Air Mobility, Refractories, and Green Energy Production.

 

Axiom Materials operates its High-Temperature Composites Center in Santa Ana, California, USA. The company produces a state-of-the-art family of Oxide-Oxide CMC materials for high temperature continuous use applications in the range of 1400°F – 2200°F (760°C – 1200°C). Axiom is enhancing its current product line with the addition of C-SiC, and SiC-SiC proprietary materials for higher temperature continuous use applications up to 2700°F (1485°C). Axiom also produces a carbon-carbon phenolic precursor with operating temperatures up to 5000°F (2760°C).

 

Axiom has invested heavily in advanced process equipment and test labs to develop and produce an array of CMC material types:

 

  • Woven Prepregs for large structural parts
  • Unidirectional Slit Tapes for automated manufacturing using AFP and ATL equipment
  • Surfacing Films for a smooth finish
  • Bulk Molding Compounds (Injection & Compression) for small complex 3-D shaped parts

 

The CMC materials may be processed via conventional layup and curing techniques, followed by free-standing high temperature sinter cycles to produce components for operation in extreme environments requiring a combination of high temperature resistance and fracture toughness. Target applications include advanced aircraft engines, hypersonics, space vehicles, lithium battery containment, oil and gas piping, petrochemical tubing, nuclear reactors, and refinery furnaces & kilns.

 

Axiom’s innovations in material science, process improvements, and technical leadership are contributing to the broader use of Ceramic Matrix Composite materials.
