Morgan Advanced Materials plc

Morgan Advanced Materials has highlighted the benefits of its active brazing alloy (ABA) process to join metals to ceramics in a variety of applications where conventional metallisation and brazing are either costly or impractical.

Morgan Advanced Materials has introduced a new ultrasonic sensing solution, capable of detecting the level of liquids in a variety of container sizes without needing to come into physical contact with the contents.

Morgan Advanced Materials announces the development of a groundbreaking new capability of brazing carbon fibre, ceramics, composites, or other engineered materials directly to a titanium honeycomb. This technique brings together the best qualities of both components, ensuring a final material that is strong, lightweight, and impact- and heat-resistant.

With the unique ability to manufacture temperature-stable transducers in high volumes, Morgan Advanced Materials now offers a comprehensive range of ultrasonic flow sensors for domestic and industrial utilities metering that can be specifically tailored for individual customers.

Morgan Advanced Materials’ ultrasonic flow sensors provide consistent readings across a temperature range of -10ºC to 120ºC that enable users to take precise measurements across a range of diverse applications and environments; including the oil and gas industry, large industrial ultrasonic flow systems and fuel measurement technologies.

A substantial six-figure investment by Morgan Advanced Materials in both people and equipment at its UK-based Certech sites is further enhancing the company’s offering to industrial sectors including aerospace and industrial gas turbines.

Morgan Advanced Materials has once again pushed the boundaries of sensor design and construction and has developed the capability to reliably manufacture compact, lead zirconium titanate (PZT) based ultrasonic sensors for continuous operation between -30°C and 160°C.

Morgan Advanced Materials announces new solutions in sacrificial wear layers to extend the life of alumina or beryllia electrostatic chucks (ESCs) for semiconductor, solar and LED applications. Applied as a final protective layer, the Diamonex technical hard-coats offer extended life benefits to new or refurbished ESCs.

A high-specification alternative to glass, already established in critical applications in the aerospace and defence sectors, is now being offered for a variety of industrial applications by Morgan Advanced Materials.

Sustained investment and innovation are once again paying off for Morgan Advanced Materials, this time in the field of sensing solutions. Morgan can now offer customers customised and optimised sensors for use in harsh environments. Products available include liquid and gas flow measurement and level / distance detection, while additional ultrasonic assessments can be made including the identification of fluid “quality” and chemical concentration. This marks a major step forward in a number of markets which each present a unique set of technical challenges.

Porextherm Dämmstoffe, based in Germany, has been acquired by Morgan Advanced Materials. The acquisition stregthens Morgan's presence in global high temperature insulation products. Porextherm was established in 1989 and since then has developed a wide range of WDS high-temperature insulation and VIP products. The company will become part of Morgan’s Thermal Ceramics business and the Porextherm brand name will be retained.

Superwool fiber papers, a low bio-persistent solution suited for use in ceramics, glass and metals manufacturing processes, are now available from Morgan Advanced Materials. Also suited for use in commercial automotive and consumer goods applications, the papers are non-wetting to molten aluminum and feature low thermal conductivity, excellent tensile strength, thermal stability, and resistance to chemical attack.

Helping keep pumps and seals running in challenging operating environments, the MAT-240 material has been formulated specifically for dry or vacuum conditions. The material, developed by Morgan Advanced Materials, allows for self-lubrication due to a special formulation. This makes the material specifically suited for extreme conditions which are intolerable to other carbon graphite materials.

Aiming to scale up a new process for manufacturing graphene, Morgan Advanced Materials has announced a joint development agreement with the University of Manchester. This agreement has been established in order to improve the prospects of bringing this material to a commercial reality.

Suited for for dry or vacuum conditions which are intolerable to other carbon graphite materials, Morgan Advanced Materials has developed the MAT-240 material which allows for self-lubrication. It transfers a lubricious film which withstands dry conditions, steam and vacuum applications, as well as a range of operating environments such as marginally and fully lubricated.
