BAM Advanced Material Technologies

BAM Advanced Material Technologies is a materials company based in Knoxville, Tennessee. It is a division of the Loar Group. The company uses high temperature furnace systems to process carbon and other advanced materials.

The company works with carbon/carbon, silicon carbide and boron nitride materials. Its uses include brakes for commercial and military aircraft, carbon ceramic brakes for race cars, and thermal protection systems for hypersonic missiles, aircraft and rocket launch vehicles.

The company also serves semiconductor and energy markets. It carbonizes carbon materials for chip making equipment. It coats components with graphitized carbon to improve electrical conductivity for EV batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers.

The site describes three processes. Carbonization removes atoms other than carbon through controlled heating without oxygen. Graphitization rearranges carbon atoms into a layered structure. Chemical vapor infiltration, or CVI, fills the pores of a carbon substrate to make it dense.

The site says its furnace technology gives precise control over these processes. It says the results are carbon composites with enhanced mechanical strength, improved thermal conductivity and good dimensional stability.

The site lists capabilities, advanced materials, facilities, quality and procurement pages. It also has a careers page and a LinkedIn page for jobs.

The contact page lists the company's address at 10536 Lexington Drive, Knoxville, Tennessee. The phone number is 865-671-4010. The contact form asks for a name, phone number, email and message.
