Title: Metal matrix coated fiber composites and the methods of manufacturing such composites

Abstract

A fiber coating which allows ceramic or metal fibers to be wetted by molten metals is disclosed. The coating inhibits degradation of the physical properties caused by chemical reaction between the fiber and the coating itself or between the fiber and the metal matrix. The fiber coating preferably includes at least a wetting layer, and in some applications, a wetting layer and a barrier layer between the fiber and the wetting layer. The wetting layer promotes fiber wetting by the metal matrix. The barrier layer inhibits fiber degradation. The fiber coating permits the fibers to be infiltrated with the metal matrix resulting in composites having unique properties not obtainable in pure materials.

Compatibility problems generated in graphite fiber - metal matrix composites

Thesis/Dissertation Kaul, R

The matrix of graphite fiber reinforced resin composites limits their useful temperature of application to a maximum of about 300/sup 0/C. Efforts have been made to increase the usable temperature of graphite fiber composites by incorporating the fibers into metal matrices. This study describes the work in this area and covers aspects such as chemical compatibility, composite fabrication technology, and mechanical properties. The single graphite fibers coated with nickel were shown to undergo structural recrystallization. Techniques were developed to stop the structural recrystallization by coating the fibers with barrier coatings such as pyrolytic graphite. A method of composite fabrication wasmore »« less
Interfaces in BN coated fiber reinforced glass-ceramic matrix composites

Journal Article Brennan, J - Scripta Metallurgica et Materialia; (United States)

It has been found in studies at UTRC and elsewhere, that polymer derived SiC type fibers such as Nicalon that contain excess carbon and oxygen over stoichiometric SiC, form a thin (20--50nm) carbon rich fiber/matrix interfacial layer when incorporated into glass-ceramic matrices at elevated temperatures. The formation of this weak interfacial carbon layer is responsible for the high toughness and strength observed in these composites, but is also responsible for composite embrittlement and concurrent strength and toughness degradation when either stressed at elevated temperatures in an oxidizing environment or thermally aged in an unstressed condition in oxidizing environments. This embrittlementmore »« less

Fiber wetting and coatings for composite fabrication. Technical report

Technical Report Katzman, H

Graphite fibers resist wetting when immersed in most molten metals. They must be coated with a material that can be wet and that also protects the fibers against chemical degradation during processing. A model of the graphite fiber surface is proposed, and a brief history of coatings that have been investigated for wetting is presented. The titanium-boron chemical vapor deposition process is discussed as well as the graphite-metal interface that results from that process. Finally, Aerospace-developed air-stable coatings and their processing are described. The technique used by Aerospace is a solution-coating process. The fibers are passed through appropriate organometallic solutionsmore »« less
The effect of fiber coating thickness on the interfacial properties of a continuous fiber ceramic matrix composite

Conference Lara-Curzio, E; Ferber, M; Lowden, R

The interfacial properties (coefficient of friction, residual clamping stress, residual axial stress, and debond stress) of a continuous fiber ceramic composite were determined by means of single-fiber push-out tests. The composite consisted of Nicalon{trademark} fibers, that had been coated prior to matrix infiltration with carbon layers ranging in thickness from 0.03 to 1.2 {mu}m, and a SiC matrix. It was found that the effective interfacial frictional stress decreased as the thickness of the carbon layer increased, from 24.6 {plus_minus} 9.9 MPa for a thickness of 0.03 Jim to 5.8 {plus_minus} 1.4 MPa for a thickness of 1.25 {mu}m. It wasmore »« less
