Description:
Using a pressureless melt infiltration and in situ reaction process to form the silicon carbide (SiC) matrix, Ultramet has been developing a means to rapidly fabricate ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) targeting thicker sections. The process also employs a unique route for the application of oxide fiber interface coatings designed to protect the fiber and impart fiber-matrix debond. Working toward a 12 inch diameter, 2.5 inch thick demonstrator component, the effect of various processing parameters on room temperature flexure strength is being studied with plans for more extensive elevated temperature mechanical strength evaluation to follow this initial optimization process.
