Fibre reinforced Metal Matrix Composites have extensive applications in high growth industrial sectors such as space and aerospace which are key to the UK's economic growth and industrial strategy for exports. These lightweight materials offer 30% weight savings in direct replacement parts and up to 70% weight saving where system designs can be optimised. The UK has a strong history in the technology and the core supply chain from raw materials to final products. TISICS is the only integrated fibre and metal composite manufacturer worldwide and has extensive experience in developing component and process technologies for a wide range of applications including:-Aero-engines: Lighter, higher operating temperature components reduce fuel burn and hence CO2 emissions.-Aircraft landing gear: Lighter, higher stiffness gear reduces fuel burn and titanium composites offer an alternative to chrome or cadmium plated steels. 30% potential weight saving equates to 340 tonnes CO2 per year per single aisle or over 2 million tonnes across the world fleet per year.-Satellite pressure vessel: lighter, near net shape propellant and pressurant tanks reduce system mass and half lead time which will be advantageous for constellation satellites.-Space robotics and structures: Lighter, more compact systems are key to space exploration and in-space servicing.-Energy: Lighter, more robust steam turbines will increase energy generation efficiency, reducing emissions.-Automotive: in the longer term with high production volume economics, MMCs offer lighter systems capable of reducing emissions from combustion engines or range extension for electric vehicles. In order to industrialise this technology significant development is required to address automation of each stage of the manufacturing process. Automation will be a combination of mechanisation of systems, digital sensors for process control and in-process monitoring alongside artificial-intelligence and machine learning to provide optimised design and processing rules for components. Manufacture of safety critical components for space and aerospace will require robust in-process monitoring and recording where any embedded defects would be challenging and costly to inspect and resolve at the end of line. TISICS will ensure the development is aligned to customer product assurance needs. TISICS will work with The University of Manchester and Derby University to develop this technology. This builds on existing research activity with both Universities and enables TISICS access to world class researchers and cutting edge research equipment beyond the reach of an SME. The. Growth of MMC technology will be accelerated through greater University research and this experience feeds into teaching programmes to train engineers for the future. The research links between the Universities and TISICS to Industrial Primes such as Airbus and Rolls-Royce will help their uptake of these materials in the future as the technology is transitioned into industrial supply chains.The project builds on 30 years composite experience and recent successes automating the fibre production processes at TISICS. This project helps maintain the UK at the forefront of advanced materials development and industrialisation, thereby accelerating the introduction of lighter materials and hence reductions in emissions for the future.

纤维增强金属基复合材料在高增长的工业领域有着广泛的应用，如空间和航空航天，这是英国经济增长和出口工业战略的关键。这些轻质材料在直接更换部件时可减轻30%的重量，在优化系统设计时可减轻高达70%的重量。英国在技术和从原材料到最终产品的核心供应链方面有着悠久的历史。TISICS是全球唯一的集成纤维和金属复合材料制造商，在开发组件和工艺技术方面拥有丰富的经验，适用于各种应用，包括：-航空发动机：更轻，更高的工作温度组件减少燃料燃烧，从而减少二氧化碳排放。飞机起落架：更轻，更高的刚度齿轮减少燃料燃烧和钛复合材料提供了替代Chrome或镀镉钢。30%的潜在重量节省相当于每个通道每年340吨二氧化碳，或每年全球船队超过200万吨。卫星压力容器：更轻的、接近净形的推进剂和加压剂贮箱减少了系统质量和一半的交付时间，这将有利于星座卫星。太空机器人和结构：更轻，更紧凑的系统是太空探索和太空服务的关键。能源：更轻，更强大的蒸汽涡轮机将提高发电效率，减少排放。汽车：从长远来看，由于生产量大，MMC提供了更轻的系统，能够减少内燃机的排放或延长电动汽车的行驶里程。为了使这项技术工业化，需要进行重大开发，以解决制造过程每个阶段的自动化问题。自动化将是系统机械化、过程控制和过程监控数字传感器以及人工智能和机器学习的结合，为组件提供优化的设计和加工规则。航天和航空航天安全关键部件的制造需要强大的过程监控和记录，其中任何嵌入式缺陷都具有挑战性，并且在生产线末端检查和解决成本高昂。TISICS将确保开发与客户产品保证需求保持一致。TISICS将与曼彻斯特大学和德比大学合作开发这项技术。这建立在现有的研究活动与两所大学，使TISICS获得世界一流的研究人员和尖端的研究设备超出了中小企业的范围。的. MMC技术的发展将通过更大的大学研究来加速，这种经验将被纳入教学计划，以培养未来的工程师。大学和TISICS之间的研究联系将有助于他们在未来吸收这些材料，因为该技术正在过渡到工业供应链。该项目建立在TISICS 30年的复合材料经验和最近的成功自动化纤维生产过程。该项目有助于保持英国在先进材料开发和工业化方面的领先地位，从而加速采用更轻的材料，从而减少未来的排放。
