摘要:
Ceramic composite materials have unidirectional alignment of the reinforcing fibers. The ratio of the volume of the fiber strands of the reinforcing fibers to the volume of the matrix is at least 0.5. A process for their production involves initially coating the fiber strands or rovings of the reinforcing fibers with a sacrificial polymer. The coated fiber strands are processed with binder resins into unidirectionally reinforced CFK molded parts. The formed CFK bodies are carbonized to form CFC bodies. The CFC bodies are then silicized with liquid silicon. The liquid silicon diffuses into the pores formed in the CFC body and combines there at least partially with the carbon to form silicon carbide. The sacrificial polymer is pyrolized. The ceramic composite materials also can be used in fiber-reinforced ceramic structural parts.

Production processes of an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic component comprising inorganic fibers mainly comprising Si, M, C and O, an inorganic substance mainly comprising Si and O and boundary layers comprising carbon as a main component; and an inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic component comprising inorganic fibers which are composed mainly of a sintered structure of SiC and contain specific metal atoms and boundary layers composed mainly of carbon, wherein a preliminary shaped material is set in a carbon die, covered with a carbon powder and then hot-pressed to load a pseudo-isotropic pressure on the preliminary shaped material; and a highly heat-resistant inorganic fiber-bonded ceramic component almost free from the occurrence of peelings of surface fibers or delamination, wherein fibers are aligned in a surface shape.

A fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite material exhibiting increased matrix cracking strength and fracture toughness is produced by sequentially depositing a plurality of 5-500 nanometer-thick layers of a primary ceramic matrix material phase periodically separated by 1-100 nanometer-thick intermediate layers of a secondary matrix material phase onto the reinforcing fibers upon their consolidation. The resultant nanolayered matrix enhances the resistance to the onset of matrix cracking, thus increasing the useful design strength of the ceramic matrix composite material. The nanolayered microstructure of the matrix constituent also provides a unique resistance to matrix crack propagation. Through extensive inter-layer matrix fracture, debonding and slip, internal matrix microcracks are effectively diverted and/or blunted prior to their approach towards the reinforcing fiber, thus increasing the apparent toughness of the matrix constituent. This unique toughening mechanism serves to dampen energetic co-planar macrocrack propagation typically observed in conventionally manufactured ceramic matrix composites wherein matrix cracks are usually deflected at the fiber/matrix interphase region.

摘要:
A method is provided for producing a fiber-reinforced material which is composed, at least in a region of a surface layer, of a ceramic composite and has carbon-containing fibers reaction-bonded to a matrix containing the elements Si and C. In particular a method of producing fiber-reinforced silicon carbide is provided in which a structure of a matrix contains cracks and/or pores, at least at ambient temperature, because of a high thermal expansion coefficient compared with that of the fibers. Metals are selectively electrodeposited in the open pores and cracks of the matrix and, in particular, in a region of the electrically conductive reinforcing fibers. As a result, the open pores and cracks are filled and, in addition, metallic top layers are optionally formed that are firmly keyed to the ceramic composite and that may serve as an interlayer for glass top layers or ceramic top layers. A fiber-reinforced composite material, as well as moldings, in particular brake discs, brake linings or clutch plates, composed of such a composite material, are also provided.

A process for continuous composite coextrusion comprising: (a) forming first a material-laden composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer and at least about 40 volume % of a ceramic or metallic particulate in a manner such that the composition has a substantially cylindrical geometry and thus can be used as a substantially cylindrical feed rod; (b) forming a hole down the symmetrical axis of the feed rod; (c) inserting the start of a continuous spool of ceramic fiber, metal fiber or carbon fiber through the hole in the feed rod; (d) extruding the feed rod and spool simultaneously to form a continuous filament consisting of a green matrix material completely surrounding a dense fiber reinforcement and said filament having an average diameter that is less than the average diameter of the feed rod; and (e) depositing the continuous filament into a desired architecture which preferably is determined from specific loading conditions of the desired object and CAD design of the object to provide a green fiber reinforced composite object.

The present invention is a composite material and process to produce same. That material comprises a fibrous structure which is initially predominantly coated with elemental carbon; that fibrous structure is then subsequently predominantly coated with at least one ceramic material, e.g., boron carbide, which is non-reactive with silicon. The composite material also comprises a silicon matrix which is continuous and predominantly surrounds the fibrous structure, which has been initially predominantly coated with elemental carbon and subsequently predominantly coated with at least one ceramic material. The matrix which has a fine grain crystalline structure of predominantly 20 microns or less in size. The at least one ceramic material is discontinuous within that matrix. The fibrous material pulls out of the elemental carbon, which initially predominantly coats that fibrous structure, when the composite is subjected to fracture.

A method for producing ceramic matrix composites wherein the method has the steps of impregnating crystalline silicon carbide fibers coated with an interfacial coating with a ceramic matrix precursor; forming the impregnated fibers into the desired shape; curing the shape; and heating the cured shape to a temperature in the range of greater than 1450° C. to 1800° C. to convert the ceramic matrix precursor into a crystal containing ceramic. A densification step may be optionally carried out until the desired porosity/density of the ceramic matrix composite is achieved.
摘要:
Two- or three-dimension assembled structures of carbon tubes and method for making the same are disclosed. Natural or synthetic fibers are first coated with a thermally stable coating material to form a coating layer over the fibers. Such coated fibers are then assembled into a desired assembled matrix, following by the treatment with an agent to enhance the binding interactions among the coated fibers within the assembled matrix. Such bound and assembled matrix of coated fibers is then employed for making the desired two- or three-dimension assembled structure of hollow carbon tubes, by removing the fibers and carbonizing the coating layers together with the residue of the fibers (if there are any). The removing treatment and carbonization treatment can be proceeded sequentially or concurrently.
