PowerMetal’s nanometals can be nanofused to a light weight substrate and used to cost-effectively produce micro- or macro-scale complex components.
What makes this material class unique is that unprecedented sporting
goods component design flexibility can be achieved because of the inherent
shape flexibility of net-shape manufacturing. The material can be
formed
into a myriad of shapes, which are simply dependent upon the shape
of
the substrate onto which the nanometal is deposited. In addition, the
material can be nanofused to metal, graphite/epoxy composites,
plastics - even wood - and can achieve material thickness distributions
unattainable with conventionally processed metals. It may even be used
to bond entirely dissimilar materials.
