Processing of ceramic matrix composites

  • Chapter
Book cover Ceramic Matrix Composites

Abstract

Before describing the techniques for fabricating ceramic matrix composites, we list below some general points that should be considered in selecting the reinforcements and the matrix. Among the items that should be taken into account for choosing a reinforcement and a matrix material are:

  1. 1.

    melting point

  2. 2.

    volatility

  3. 3.

    density

  4. 4.

    elastic modulus

  5. 5.

    coefficient of thermal expansion

  6. 6.

    creep characteristics

  7. 7.

    strength

  8. 8.

    fracture toughness

  9. 9.

    compatibility between fiber and matrix

    1. (a)

      chemical compatibility

    2. (b)

      thermal compatibility (should be able to withstand high-temperature excursions)

    3. (c)

      compatibility with the environment, internal as well as external: the external compatibility mainly involves oxidation and evaporation characteristics.
