Continuous ceramic fibre is embedded in ceramic matrix and an interface between them is tailored to form CFCCs (e.g. C/SiC, SiC/SiC, C/C etc.,) via Chemical Vapour Infiltration process (CVI) with improved fracture toughness/damage tolerance
Year of Development
2010
Salient Technical Features
• High strength and stiffness to weight ratio • High creep resistance • Improved fracture toughness (>20MPam1/2) • Superior high temperature mechanical properties • Dimensional stability at high temperature
