We explained in the past episodes 1 to 3 what is TMC, the history of the delevopment and the technology behind it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this episode we focus us on the USP and the features<\/strong> of this very interesting titanium composites.<\/span><\/p>\n

TMC is very suitable in environments where high forces occur and lightweight components with high strength and stiffness are required.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Our process for the production of reinforced components with SiC fibers<\/strong> offers the best possible properties and a wide variety in production.<\/span><\/p>\n

The high strength of the fiber leads to the fact, that the mechanical properties of TMC, such as the bending stiffness, are by far surpassing the properties of components made of conventional materials.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following chart represents a pulling test<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

The result is very impressive!<\/span><\/p>\n

a) high <\/u>strength<\/u> steel<\/u>:<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

up to 50% less weight<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

up to 75% more strenght<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

up to 15% less weight<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

up to 115% more strenght<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Titan Matrix Composites are the key\u00a0 for less weight but more stiffness and strength!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
