Fiber and Whisker Reinforced Ceramics for Structural Applications

By David Belitskus Copyright 1993

    Examines all important aspects of whisker and fibre reinforced ceramic science and technology, offering a balanced account of developments in the field. The work shows how to improve the strength and stiffness of ceramic composites, at very high temperatures, without brittleness.

    "Introduction Properties of Structural Materials Toughening Mechanisms in Ceramic Matrix Composites Mechanical Testing of Ceramic Matrix Composites Fibers and Whiskers for Ceramic Reinforcement Fiber Architecture Selection of Compatible Reinforcement and Matrix Materials Importance of the Fiber/Matrix Interface in Ceramic Matrix Composites Fiber Coatings Slurry Processing of Whisker Reinforced Ceramics Slurry Processed Continuous Fiber Reinforced Ceramics Ceramic Matrix Composites Produced by Reaction Bonding Matrix Formation by Macromolecule Decomposition Production of Ceramic Matrix Composites by Chemical Vapor Infiltration Melt Processing of Ceramic Matrix Composites Machining, Joining, Nondestructive Evaluation, and Design Applications of Ceramic Matrix Composites "
