Material Systems
Featured material systems
The Material Systems Technologies (MST) organization develops high-performance components and systems to deliver new product breakthroughs and applications for GE businesses and customers. Examples include carbon fiber composite blades and casings for jet engines; rapid prototyping using polymers, metals, and ceramics, and advanced bearings, gears, and other components for wind turbines, locomotives, and compressors.
To ensure on-time product launch, the organization also develops robust manufacturing processes to help move new technologies smoothly from the research stage to the marketplace. The Pilot Development Center in Niskayuna, New York, and the new Advanced Manufacturing and Software Technology Center in Detroit, Michigan, are two key MST facilities used for this important work.
Composites
Advanced composite materials are being used in an increasing number of GE products where their unique combination of properties such as high strength, low density, and fatigue resistance help to increase performance.
