Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) 'ACM-a'

Our company utilizes the new material Carbon-Aluminum ACM-a on-site. We cast aluminum alloy (around 700°C) using molten forging technology by pouring it into molds and applying high pressure. Even after removing the solidified casting from the mold, the mold remains at a high temperature. To cast multiple shots with the same mold in a day, it is necessary to lower the mold to the set temperature each time. If we cool it rapidly, such as by pouring water, it can damage the mold and affect its lifespan. Therefore, in regular operations, we use blocks of ACM-a on-site to cool the mold. For example, simply placing a block of ACM-a on a hot mold can reduce the mold's temperature by 100 degrees in 10 minutes. Without ACM-a, natural cooling would take about 30 minutes. We recorded a video of the on-site situation, so please take a look. https://youtu.be/LA4c9OdWgl0 *The blocks of ACM-a in the video are not specifically made for cooling this mold, so they are smaller compared to the mold, but using larger ones can shorten the cooling time.

Our company is engaged in the development and manufacturing of metal matrix composites using a unique molten metal forging method at the foot of Mount Fuji. We have decided to create products using one of these composite materials, a new material called "ACM-a," which combines carbon and aluminum, and to conduct crowdfunding for it. "ACM-a" emits far-infrared radiation equivalent to charcoal when heated, enhancing the flavor of food. We will be producing a grill plate made from "ACM-a" and will start a pre-sale (support purchase) for the "Far-Infrared Magic Far-Infrared Grill Plate" on the official Makuake website from 5 PM on July 20, 2023 (until September 26). https://www.makuake.com/project/advance-composite02/ You can access this link to see the full details of the project. By placing this "Far-Infrared Grill Plate" in a toaster or grill and putting ingredients on top, it will exhibit far-infrared effects, cooking food deliciously like charcoal grilling. Since the surface temperature does not rise rapidly when food is placed on this plate, it is less likely to burn or harden, while heat is properly transmitted to the interior. This is believed to be the effect of the far-infrared radiation emitted from the plate.
