TISICS limited are an SME that are at the forefront of silicon carbide fibre reinforced Titanium technology. This advanced metal matrix composite (MMC) material offers the same strength as steel, at a fraction of the weight. This project intends to expand on this techology to investigate aerospace and automotive applications, potentially improving fuel efficiency through reducing weights, and thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions. TISICS will collaborate with material scientists at the University of Manchester to gain further understanding of the fundamental properties of these advanced MMCs. In the longer term, the UK could benefit from new job creation for the metal composite supply chain as well as increased competitiveness for UK based advanced materials suppliers ahead of international rivals.

TISICS有限公司是一家中小型企业，在碳化硅纤维增强钛技术的最前沿。这种先进的金属基复合材料（MMC）具有与钢相同的强度，重量却只有钢的一小部分。该项目旨在扩展这项技术，以研究航空航天和汽车应用，通过减轻重量来提高燃油效率，从而减少温室气体排放。TISICS将与曼彻斯特大学的材料科学家合作，进一步了解这些先进MMC的基本特性。从长远来看，英国可以受益于金属复合材料供应链创造的新就业机会，以及英国先进材料供应商领先于国际竞争对手的竞争力。
