CAST 7075 Composite Armor Plates

GISS Technology has been applied to produce armor plates capable of defeating 7.62 mm ball rounds (NIJ Level III standard). These armor plates are made of Aluminum 7075-T6 reinforced with SiC preforms. The prototype GISS-MMC armor plates have been integrated into the armor system of an armored attack boat for the Thai Navy.

High-Quality Tin Plates

To produce a slider head of a hard disk drive, the lapping process is critical. During lapping, sliders are polished on soft tin alloy plates embedded with diamond abrasive particles to achieve the desired shape, size, and surface quality. The quality of the sliders post-lapping greatly depends on the consistency and soundness of the tin alloy plates.

Prosthetic Components

The Ortho-X below-knee prosthetic system, commercialized by GISSCO, consists of three GISS die cast adaptors, a commercial polymer foot, and an extruded aluminum tube. The Ortho-X prosthetic system, with GISS die cast adaptors (356-T6 alloy), has passed a dynamic test of 2,000,000 cycles and is currently being clinically tested in Thailand.
