ADvanced MAnufacturing
routes for metal/composite
COMponents for aerospace
A “Factory of the Future” project, led by Politecnico
di Torino (POLITO), was launched in October 2013
to develop innovative manufacturing technologies
based on advanced design of interfaces and of joining materials for aerospace components.
light weight for reducing fuel consumption
and CO2 emission. To enable this, the joining of CMCs and ceramic to metals needs to
be easier, more flexible, rapid, risk-free and
possibly allow a reduction of inspection and
repair efforts.
The concept behind ADMACOM is that novel, reliable and efficient joining of dissimilar materials is a
powerful manufacturing tool for enabling a speedy
drive towards innovation and efficiency of several key
EU industrial products, such as new composite materials for aerospace, one of the main EU leading commercial sectors.
A wide number of new composite and ceramic materials with exceptional properties such as high thermo-mechanical and thermo-chemical resistance and
low density compared to traditional materials (i.e.
metals and polymers) are available in the EU market, but their use is limited to very few applications
because of the problem of joining them reliably.
Just to cite a few possibilities: fibre reinforced Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC, e.g. SiC/SiC, C/SiC,
C/C or Al2O3/mullite) could be used right now to replace existing aeronautic/aerospace components.
This will contribute to the increasing demand for
novel components with improved properties such as
