Gamma Technology, LLC has developed a new aluminum metal matrix composite (MMC) that is lighter, more durable and more affordable than other MMCs. Gamma can take products in directions simply not available to some of the more traditional sources of Al MMC alloys. This ease of machining, combined with a highly modular manufacturing process, creates worlds of possibilities to be explored. Their use is common in products in defense, commercial aerospace, nuclear power generation, high performance automotive and many other fields. Gamma Technologys material is being used in applications from internal automotive engine components to cleats for athletic running shoes. It is now moving into structural applications on helicopters as well as components in military ground vehicles and jet aircraft engines.
