Welcome
Talon Composites designs, develops, manufactures, and markets industrial and consumer products utilizing its proprietary advanced metal matrix composite materials, which have a superior combination of physical properties, including strength, lightweight, stiffness, hardness, and fracture resistance, for a variety of selected markets. The Company has developed technology, for which it has patents pending for the application of boron carbide in combination with aluminum in lightweight metal matrix composites under the name Talbor®.
Boron carbide is an advanced ceramic that is the third hardest material in the world. Introduced commercially in 1999, after more than four years of development, Talbor® is lighter than titanium, has a higher specific stiffness than titanium, aluminum, or steel, is one-third the weight of many steel, has a hardness comparable to steel and titanium, and highly fracture resistant. Talbor® is easily welded, cast, bent, coated, and extruded with conventional equipment and tools.
The Company believes that Talbor® is a highly effective replacement for many existing high-cost metal and composite products, such as those used in high-end sporting goods, automotive applications, nuclear shielding, and many other applications. The material's unique combination of properties will justify an appropriate price premium.
