Glass-matrix composites for higher-use-temperature applications

OSTI ID:5309258
Mechanical and thermal properties of reinforced glass and glass-ceramic composites for structural purposes are discussed in terms of their constituent fibers and matrices. High-modulus fibers yielded high-modulus composites; high-strength fibers yielded high-strength composites. Both glass and glass-ceramic composites are available that maintain their properties at elevated temperatures. Properties of graphite/glass composites were maintained to 500/sup 0/C (930/sup 0/F), while the properties of Nicalon/glass and Nicalon/glass-ceramic composites were maintained to 700/sup 0/C (1290/sup 0/F) and 1250/sup 0/C (2300/sup 0/F), respectively. 16 references, 5 figures, 2 tables.
