Summary: Axiom Materials is heading to CAMX 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, September 21–24, 2026. Visit the Axiom Materials team at Booth Q18 in Building C of the Georgia World Congress Center to connect with advanced materials experts and discuss ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), composite prepregs, adhesives, honeycomb core, tooling materials, and other solutions for demanding […]
An aircraft cruising at 35,000 feet is subjected to incredible physical demands across every square inch of its structure. That structure must be able to handle fast air speeds, freezing high-altitude temperatures, and intense mechanical vibrations. Historically, the extreme stresses have been addressed with mechanical fasteners like rivets and bolts, but things are changing. Today, […]
Sourcing advanced composite materials is a critical decision for engineers in both aerospace and industrial manufacturing. These highly advanced materials often find their way into mission-critical and high-stress applications. Everything from high-temperature industrial machinery to aircraft parts and interiors is on the table. The reality for engineers and purchasing managers is simple: a singl…
Selecting materials for aerospace manufacturing is not an exact science. Moreover, what constitutes the ‘best’ material isn’t a universal constant. Manufacturers face a balancing act as they consider everything from mechanical requirements to environmental exposure. Even something as benign as flooring needs to be carefully considered before materials are chosen. Sandwich panel …
The latest frontier in aerospace engineering is hypersonic flight. Aerospace engineers are pushing vehicles to the limits, reaching speeds of Mach 5 – five times the speed of sound – and beyond. But moving that fast means fighting the laws of both physics and chemistry. A big concern from our end is a thermal environment […]
Nomex honeycomb products are used throughout a variety of industries. Aerospace, automotive, and construction are the three big ones. As a Nomex honeycomb core supplier, Axiom Materials fully understands the critical nature of this lightweight, versatile, and durable material. We are happy to share our knowledge with customers. As a composite material, one would expect […]
Despite the many advances we have seen in military and defense over the last few decades, the difference between success and failure on the battlefield still boils down to the gear soldiers rely on to do what they do. From body armor to the aircraft that provide much-needed support, gear matters. And in 21st-century warfare, […]
There is no such thing as a perfect manufacturing material for aerospace engineering. But there are best-choice materials for specific applications. When it comes to designing aircraft interiors, engineers face a fundamental choice between phenolic and epoxy prepregs. Which one is better with the design currently on the table? To be clear, the main difference […]
Composites providers are known for producing the space-age materials that make modern aviation possible. We are known for aerospace applications, high-performance composites for motor sports, and groundbreaking materials designed for military applications. But there is so much more to the composites space than you know through these highly visible applications. Take healthcare. Did you know [R…
One of the big challenges of working with composites is bonding multi-layered materials. Composites also need to be bonded to non-composite materials from time to time. But you cannot weld carbon fiber. Attaching composites with mechanical fasteners is also not a wise idea. So engineers are left with adhesives. In the past, paste and liquid […]
As a class of composite materials, phenolic prepregs are considered high-performance composites capable of holding up under extreme stresses. They represent a strong alternative to traditional resin systems – like epoxy and polyester – in both structural and non-structural components. They are gradually finding their way into marine construction thanks to their fire safety capabilities […]
