Info

We produce permanent mold castings using conventional aluminum cast grades of materials, proprietary metal matrix composites (ceramic particulate of 5-60 micron various types) in various states of finish , including outside processes such as x-ray, machined, painted etc. Our composite material is needed where there is the requirement for added strength coupled with a need for lightweight material. Applications are in agricultural, aerospace, defense systems, sporting goods, first tier automotive, transportation, aftermarket automotive, etc. We also provide full engineering support, designs and prototype development. Customers such as MGM Brakes purchase conventional aluminum castings, Alto Products has placed an order for a prototype automotive transmission part using our ThermaLite metal matrix composite material, and Paccar Parts purchases conventional aluminum castings for service to Kenworth and Peterbilt. We also have quoted or are working on various applications for metal matrix alloys in electronics enclosures needing highly thermal conductive materials like ThermaLite and for its use in the automotive aftermarket on intake manifolds and cylinder heads. The company is actively pursuing the automotive aftermarket due to low volumes and high margins. Baer Brakes a high end aftermarket manufacturer of high performance vehicle brake systems is currently working with us on brake components using our high strength aluminum composite ThermaLite. This market sees a need for increased brake system capability and the excellent thermal numbers we provide are extremely attractive from both a performance and marketing standpoint.
