Metal Matrix Composites

The MMC replaces a monolith component with superior performance – typically lighter, longer lasting, and improved stiffness.

Concrete blades get hot, then they warp, and the operator needs to slow down or stop to let the blade cool. This takes time. Time is money.

Loukus Tech’s in-house tool and die shop, ceramic processing cell, and low and high pressure casting presses make a variety of developments. Among these are engine components, light and stiff bearing sleeves, or parts under high wear.

Similar to the development of selectively-reinforced composite materials, Loukus is developing process techniques to manufacture lightweight structures with dissimilar metals.
