 New metal composites for high performance applications
For more than ten years, Forges de Bologne has been working on new generations of materials. Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) consist of a base of aluminium alloy, the matrix, the ductility of which is altered by the addition of ceramic particles. These MMCs have been developed within the framework of European research programmes, in partnership with major industrial concerns in the aerospace and defence sectors.
Fully controlled implementation
Forges de Bologne is capable of producing MMC components according to customer requirement and in industrial quantities. Products as main rotor blade sleeves or helicopter swashplates are manufactured in MMC and it enables to ensure longer life cycles with increased lightness.
