Aerospace
Newmet is a key supplier of advanced materials to the aerospace market, helping the industry to meet the ever-increasing need for safe operations across a range of adverse environmental and atmospheric conditions.
We work with global aircraft manufacturers supplying and developing advanced materials. Our materials have been specified by leading companies (see silicone foams specification, solid silicones specification).
Composites are playing a growing role in the industry where properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio, design flexibility, and resistance to corrosion, fatigue and impact give them a superior performance over more traditional materials. We have a long track record in supplying carbon composites to the industry and are excited by the developing market.
