# Gamma Alloys Inc

> Gamma Alloys is a Santa Clarita, California advanced-materials company that reinforces aluminum with homogeneously distributed nano-ceramic particles to create metal matrix composites that are stiffer, stronger, more wear-resistant and stable across a wider temperature range than conventional aluminum. Its materials ship as wrought stock (bar, tube, plate), additive powders and additive wire for metal 3D printing, and are aimed at aerospace, defense, automotive, motorsports and even luxury goods. Founded in 2008 and led by CEO Mark Sommer, the company drew an investment from Boeing HorizonX Ventures in 2017 and partners with precision manufacturer Del West USA.

- **Founded:** 2008
- **Headquarters:** Santa Clarita, California, United States
- **Founders:** Mark Sommer (CEO)
- **Team size:** Approximately 8 employees
- **Products:** Nano MMC Additive Wire, Nano MMC Additive Powders, Wrought MMC Alloys, G7-P
- **Notable:** Secured investment from Boeing HorizonX Ventures in 2017 - Boeing's first bet on advanced materials and machining., Developed nano MMC additive wire that prints aluminum without cracking, heat-treatable to wrought-alloy properties., Created G7-P, a high-strength additive replacement for Al7075.

## Products & services

- **Nano MMC Additive Wire** — Aluminum metal-3D-printing wire reinforced with nano-ceramic particles, available in diameters down to 1mm, that prints without cracking and is heat-treatable to wrought-alloy properties. Improved 5000 series with 2000 and 7000 series options.
- **Nano MMC Additive Powders** — High-strength powders for Powder Bed Fusion and Direct Energy Deposition. Nano-ceramic particles embedded in metal create fine-grain, crack-free microstructures that retain strength after printing.
- **Wrought MMC Alloys** — Aluminum metal matrix composites for conventional manufacturing (bar, tube, plate), with ceramic loading up to 25% by volume, small spherical non-reactive particles, in 2000/5000/6000/7000 series, scalable from kilograms to metric tons.
- **G7-P** — A high-strength additive manufacturing material positioned as a replacement for Al7075, described by the company as a leap forward for engineering possibilities in additive.

## Achievements

- Secured investment from Boeing HorizonX Ventures in 2017 - Boeing's first bet on advanced materials and machining.
