Additive Manufacturing of C/C-SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites by Automated Fiber Placement of Continuous Fiber Tow in Polymer with Pyrolysis and Reactive Silicon Melt Infiltration

Journal Article Cramer, Corson L. ; Yoon, Bola ; Lance, Michael J. ; ... - Journal of Composites Science

An additive manufacturing process for fabricating ceramic matrix composites has been developed based on the C/C-SiC system. Automated fiber placement of the continuous carbon fibers in a polyether ether ketone matrix was performed to consolidate the carbon fibers into a printed preform. Pyrolysis was performed to convert the polymer matrix to porous carbon, and then Si was introduced by reactive melt infiltration to convert a portion of the carbon matrix to silicon carbide. The densities and microstructures were characterized after each step during the processing, and the mechanical properties were measured. The C/C-SiC composites exhibited a porosity of 10–20%, characteristicmore »« less

W-ZrC composites prepared by reactive melt infiltration of Zr₂Cu alloy into binder jet 3D printed WC preforms

Journal Article Mudanyi, Rina ; Cramer, Corson ; Elliott, Amy ; ... - International Journal of Refractory and Hard Metals

W-ZrC composites were successfully prepared by reactive melt infiltration (RMI) of stoichiometric and excess amounts of Zr₂Cu into sintered and un-sintered WC preforms made from binder jet 3D printing. The focus of this work was to study the conversion of reactant powders and liquid infiltrant with varying preform density and infiltrant amount by controlling the processing time to reach high conversion yield while understanding the phase composition, microstructure, and hardness. To investigate the effect of time, the reactive melt infiltration was conducted at 1400 °C for 2, 4 and 8 h in a furnace with 96% Ar - 4% H2more »« less

Hardness Measurements and Interface Behavior of SiC-B₄C-Si Multiple Phase Particulate Composites Made with Melt Infiltration and Additive Manufacturing

Journal Article Cramer, Corson L. ; Cakmak, Ercan ; Unocic, Kinga A. - Journal of Composites Science

Reaction-bonded SiC-B₄C-Si ceramic composites were binder jet 3D-printed and subsequently pressureless-melt-infiltrated with molten Si. The addition of B₄C aided the Si infiltration to produce a highly dense composite. The microstructures and phases of these composites were examined. The measured hardness values of each constituent with Vickers and nanoindentation matched the bulk values, and the macro-hardness values with Knoop and spherical indentation represented the bulk, composite hardness values of all three phases together, which was close to a rule of mixtures value. For particulate-based composites, this is a significant finding. The interfacial bonds of SiC and Si were imaged using scanningmore »« less

Chemical vapor infiltration of additively manufactured preforms: Pore-resolved simulations and experimental validation

Journal Article Ramanuj, Vimal ; Sankaran, Ramanan ; Jolly, Brian C. ; ... - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Abstract The densification of additively manufactured porous preforms by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) is studied using pore‐resolved simulations and experiments. Experimentally, 3D printed silicon carbide (SiC) preforms are subject to CVI synthesis using methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) precursor to obtain high purity SiC/SiC composites. Optical images of the cross sections of the processed preforms are analyzed to obtain the spatial porosity distribution. The numerical method is based on a level set formulation to capture the spatial distribution and time evolution of the pore scale microstructural characteristics. The coupled transport and kinetic effects are represented using a dimensionless Thiele modulus. Simulations are initializedmore »« less

Highly oriented carbon fiber–polymer composites via additive manufacturing

Journal Article Tekinalp, Halil L. ; Kunc, Vlastimil ; Velez-Garcia, Gregorio M. ; ... - Composites Science and Technology

Additive manufacturing, diverging from traditional manufacturing techniques, such as casting and machining materials, can handle complex shapes with great design flexibility without the typical waste. Although this technique has been mainly used for rapid prototyping, interest is growing in using this method to directly manufacture actual parts of complex shape. To use 3D-printing additive manufacturing in wide spread applications, the technique and the feedstock materials require improvements to meet the mechanical requirements of load-bearing components. Thus, we investigated the short fiber (0.2 mm to 0.4 mm) reinforced acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene composites as a feedstock for 3D-printing in terms of their processibility, microstructuremore »« less
