Ceramic-ceramic composites meeting in Belgium. Technical report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5891981
The problems of obtaining homogeneous dispersions of multicomponent systems were frequently discussed at this conference. The use of acoustic emission was shown to be a useful NDT analytical tool to detect the presence of microcracks in different places. The composite systems considered at the meeting included: zirconia-toughened aluminum (ZTA), silicon carbide (SIC) fiber-reinforced pyrex, SiC fiber-reinforced silicon dioxide (SiO/sub 2/) glass matrix, mullite-zirconia- Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/-SiC, C-fiber-reinforced reaction-bonded SiC, ionic conducting NASICON-glass insulator composites, and GAMA A1ON-A1/sub 2/O/sub 3/ composites. The zirconium oxycarbide system, ZrO/sub 2/-ZrCxOy and ZrC-ZrCxOy composites are interesting, novel systems.
