HTMS are proud to announcement our successful joint bid for the prestigious Henry Royce Institute Industrial Collaboration Programme with the University of Sheffield / AMRC, winning a grant of £101,000.
The funding will support a follow on project with our partners at the AMRC, building on the successful filament winding work which was done earlier this year. This project culminated in the first CMC filament wound tubes to be made in the UK.
Dr. Richard Grainger (CTO, HTMS) explains,
“HTMS is working on a low-temperature-curing CMC tape with the AMRC, suitable for processing into extreme temperature-resistant applications, up to 1200C. The novel approach of unidirectional ceramic tape-based composites offers greater flexibility in design, composition and applications and is, therefore, suitable for varied end-uses, offering a huge scope for commercialisation.”
The project will run until Q2 2025.
