Title: METAL FIBER REINFORCED CERAMICS. Period covered: September 1, 1958 to August 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4187902

The principal geometric variables involved in ceramicrefractory metal fiber composites were evaluated using themnal shock resistance as the most important criteria. Several different ceramic-metal fiber composites were investigated. Using the alumina-molybdenum and aluminamullite-molybdenum fiber systems, the comparative properties of the two basic types of composites were demonstrated. Composites were developed which had flexural strengths exceeding 30, 000 psi following four thermal shock cycles. (auth)
