For more than 20 years, CPS has been a leading supplier of metal matrix components for thermal management of electronics. Now CPS also offers aluminum metal matrix composite (Al-MMC) encapsulated ceramic tile HybridTech Armor® as well as structural components primarily using fiber reinforcements. Our Al-MMCs tool box also includes hollow ceramic shell reinforcements creating syntactic foams, with density nearly half that of aluminum. Such syntactic foams can be combined with fiber reinforced layers to create unique Al-MMC structures. Current maximum size for Al-MMCs is approximately 1m x 2m x 20cm. At stand # Z44 in Pavilion 1, CPS will showcase its capability to make large net-shape components.
