Pressurised systems are used extensively in many industries from breathing air tanks forrescue services, deep water oil and gas instrument housings to chemical and gas tanks used tomove satellites in orbit, with the space sector having the greatest need for lightweight tanks.However the main requirements for space materials are light weight, multi-functionalcapabilities, smart features and outstanding thermal stability, which cannot be achieved withthese conventional materials. TISICS has developed reinforced metal matrix composites(MMC) with titanium and aluminium alloy matrices. This produces metallic composite partswith very high specific strength and stiffness, and the potential to be used for in structural orcomplex shape tanks.
