Ceramic Composites - Fibers

Ceramic Composites - Fibers

1. What is it?

   • Ceramic Matrix Composites
     • Special type of composite material
       • Reinforcement
       • Matrix Materials
       • Are Ceramics
     • Considered a Subgroup
       • Composite Materials
       • Ceramics
   • Composite materials
     • Comprised of at least two parts
       • The reinforcement
         • Which provides special mechanical properties
           • Stiffness
           • Strength
       • Matrix material
         • Holds everything together
     • In some cases
       • Same kind of ceraimc
         • Used for both parts of structure

2. Materials

   • Typical reinforcing
     • Fiber materials include
       • Carbon, C
       • Silicon Carbide, SiC
       • Alumina, Al2O3
       • Mullite or Alumina Silica, Al2O3-SiO2

3. Aplications
