Surface energy contributions to the work of infiltration in metal matrix composite processing

Andreas Mortensen, Gionata Schneider

The work needed to mechanically drive molten metal into a porous solid preform when producing a composite material by infiltration can significantly exceed the energy change required for thermodynamically reversible infiltration. We measure, by quantitativ ...

Study and characterization of silicon metal alloys systems for the reactive infiltration process of ceramic matrix composites

Manoj Kondibhau Naikade

Silicon infiltrated silicon carbide (SiSiC) is one of the most promising and economical non-oxide ceramic matrix composites for high-temperature structural applications. In recent years infiltration by Si-alloys instead of pure Si has become popular to avo ...

Volumetric Additive Manufactuing of Ceramics

Christophe Moser, Paul Delrot, Jorge Andres Madrid Wolff, Damien Claude-Marie Loterie, Georgia Konstantinou

Two-photon additive manufacturing of ceramic materials has demon-strated high-precision manufacturing of tools at the micrometer scale. Here, we propose single photon volumetric additive manufacturing toovercome limitations on print size and which avoid th ...

Stochastic Virtual Tests for High-Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites

Varun Parameswaran Rajan

We review the development of virtual tests for high-temperature ceramic matrix composites with textile reinforcement. Success hinges on understanding the relationship between the microstructure of continuous-fiber composites, including its stochastic varia ...

Measuring the local strength of alumina reinforcements

Andreas Mortensen, Marco Cantoni, Goran Zagar, Andreas Rossoll, Martin Guillermo Mueller, Václav Pejchal

Ceramic particles in metal matrix composites, or hard second phases in alloys, often serve as reinforcements, raising its stiffness, hardness and strength. Their efficiency depends on their strength, a quantity that is statistically distributed over micros ...

Matrix cracking of fiber-reinforced ceramic composites in shear

Varun Parameswaran Rajan

The mechanics of cracking in fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) under general loadings remains incomplete. The present paper addresses one outstanding aspect of this problem: the development of matrix cracks in unidirectional plies under she ...
