Morgan Advanced Materials develops new materials for use in aerospace components

Following extensive research and development, Morgan Advanced Materials has successfully produced two new materials which offer superior performance and higher casting yields when used in injection-moulded ceramic cores for the aerospace market. Building on the success of its existing range of specially-engineered ceramic core products, the new materials, P-57 and P-59, can generate exceptionally fine cross-sections in aerofoil and turbine blade casting, while offering enhanced surface finish. Both materials are ideal for directionally solidified (DS) and single crystal (SX) applications and can produce cores with minimum profile thickness of 0.30mm (0.01 inches) without compromising stability or rigidity during the casting
