Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) Testing

Element is a global leader in Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) testing for the Aerospace industry, helping companies characterize their next-generation materials and develop their products with the properties needed for lightweight and extreme high-temperature applications.

Components manufactured from ceramic matrix composites combine the heat resistance of ceramics with improved structural strength, performing at exceedingly higher temperatures upwards of 3,000°F. As the practical application of CMCs increases, so does the need to understand themechanical propertiesof your materials to ensure they perform as expected. CMCs will play an important role over the coming decades as gas turbine OEMs continue to push the limits of fuel efficiency and performance while decreasing weight.

Due to the unique requirements of testing in extreme environments, gathering pertinent data requires specialized equipment and extensive experience. Our Engaged Experts have developed their knowledge of CMC properties by partnering with our clients from their initial R&D efforts to providing repeatable, relevant testing protocols. With a thorough understanding of CMCs, we help you ensure your materials are safe, quality, compliant and fit for purpose.
