Boom Predicted in Ceramic Matrix Composite Sales in Coming Years

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are used extensively in the aerospace industry. This is ascribed to the high strength-to-weight ratio and the excellent mechanical characteristics of these materials. Because of these properties, CMCs are heavily used in power transmission lines, high-speed machine components and parts, helicopter rotor blade sleeves, jet engine fans, and fighter aircraft ventral fins. Moreover, with the surging aircraft manufacturing in several countries, especially in the European countries, the demand for CMCs is skyrocketing across the world.
