    摘要: Thermodynamically stable ceramic composites are provided for use in high temperature oxidizing environments. A phosphate selected from monazites and xenotimes functions as a weak bond interphase material between the constituents of the composites. Monazite comprises a family of minerals having the form MPO.sub.4, where M is selected from the larger trivalent rare earth elements of the lanthanide series (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, Sm, Eu, Gd, and Tb) and coupled substituted divalents and tetravalents such as Ca or Sr with Zr or Th. Xenotimes are phosphates similar to monazite where M is selected from Sc, Y, and the smaller trivalent rare earth elements of the lanthanide series (Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu). High temperature ceramic composites that include monazite or xenotime and exhibit damage tolerant behavior or non-catastrophic fracture may be fabricated in a variety of material systems and reinforcement morphologies, including multilayered laminar composites; fiber, whisker, and particulate reinforced composites; and hybrid laminar composites. Alumina fibers may be used in single crystal or polycrystalline form as a reinforcement material. In preferred embodiments, the ceramic matrix comprises a material similar to the reinforcement to improve compatibility of the composite materials. The interphase material allows debonding and "frictional" sliding between the constituents of the composite and inhibits crack growth across the interface.

    摘要: A system for determining scattering parameters (S-parameters) characterizing the behavior of a network applies a wideband stimulus signal containing multiple signal components as input to the network. The system then measures incident and reflected waveforms at all of the network's ports, digitizes and converts the measured waveforms from time domain to frequency domain data, and then computes the S-parameters values for each frequency component of interest from the frequency domain data for that frequency. The system also determines its own error coefficients (E-coefficients) for each frequency of interest from data collected during a sequence of measurements in response to either a sinusoid or a wideband signal and adjusts the computed S-parameter values accordingly.

    摘要: Thermodynamically stable ceramic composites are provided for use in high temperature oxidizing environments. The composites comprise high strength alumina fibers (Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) in a ceramic matrix. The ceramic matrix comprises material similar to the fibers to improve compatibility of the composite materials. A material selected from the .beta.-alumina and magnetoplumbite family of materials is used to provide a weakly bonded interface between the fibers and the ceramic matrix. .beta.-aluminas and magnetoplumbites have weak layers as an intrinsic characteristic of their crystal structure, which comprise spinel layers (basically Al.sub.2 O.sub.3) separated by very weakly bonded planes containing the .beta.-forming ions. The weak planes of these materials allow preferential debonding and sliding, and thus inhibit crack growth across the interface between the fibers and the ceramic matrix. The alumina fibers can be coated with .beta.-alumina by any of several methods such as heat treating the fibers in an atmosphere containing the desired .beta.-forming ions. Composite structures can be fabricated by placing the coated fibers in powdered matrix material and hot pressing. .beta.-alumina can also be formed in situ within a preformed composite by providing the .beta.-forming ions in a compound that is phase compatible with the ceramic matrix material and then heat treating the composite to form .beta.-alumina at the fiber-matrix interface.

    摘要: Monazites and xenotimes are rare-earth phosphates showing a combination of properties expected to be suitable for thermal barrier coatings. For example, lanthanum phosphate (La-monazite) can be used to form thermal barrier coatings to protect superalloy and ceramic parts exposed to high temperature and damage by sulfur, vanadium, phosphorus and other contaminants. The monazite or xenotime coatings can be applied using any of the common application methods including EB-PVD, laser ablation and plasma spraying. The stoichiometry of the coatings can be modulated according to the stoichiometry of specially prepared starting target (source) material. The most effective coatings appear to be largely crystalline and show a columnar structure with feather-like microstructure. For La-monazite, effective coatings between 10 and 500 micrometers in thickness can be deposited on substrates having temperatures between about 750° C. and about 950° C.
