MC-21, Inc. was founded in 1994 with the goal of reducing the cost of metal matrix composite (MMC) material production. In MC-21's stir-casting approach, the desired aluminum alloy is melted, and carefully sized ceramic particles are stirred in creating good wetting and a very strong bond between the ceramic particles and aluminum matrix. A broad range of MMCs containing a variety of types and volume fractions of ceramic particulate and of aluminum alloys can be formed using standard metal-working techniques, such as rolling and casting.
