A single membrane insulation material including a nonwoven insulation mat, a fluoropolymer dispersion surface coated to one side of the mat and a fluoropolymer film component laminated to the thus coated side of the mat under conditions of elevated temperature and pressure. The coating has a depth of penetration which is less than the total thickness of said mat.
摘要:
Conductive and/or chemically absorptive ceramic fibers are woven with optional non-conductive/non-absorptive ceramic fibers to create a fiber reinforcement which is impregnated with a ceramic-material-producing (pre-ceramic polymer) binder and heated to create the ceramic honeycomb with controlled ohmic loss and/or chemical absorption properties. The desired properties of the honeycomb material can be provided by the conductive and/absorptive ceramic fibers alone or in combination with non-fibrous or fibrous conductive and/or absorptive ceramic material provided by the binder, typically a preceramic polymer which may or may not contain dispersed ceramic materials; after the honeycomb is formed, the non-fibrous or fibrous conductive and/or absorptive ceramic material is interspersed throughout the honeycomb. By heating the impregnated fiber reinforcement in the absence of oxygen, carbon from any carbon-containing materials within the binder remain as a part of the honeycomb material. The honeycomb can be loaded with additional carbon or carbon-containing fibers by repeating the loading and heating in the absence of oxygen steps. For applications requiring long-term thermo-oxidative resistance, refractory ceramics like pure silicon carbide can be substituted for the fibers or fillers employed.

摘要:
Thermodynamically stable ceramic composites are provided for use in high temperature reactive environments. A phosphate selected from monazites and xenotimes functions as a weak bond material in the composite. 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; hybrid laminar composites; and fabric or fiber preform composites. In preferred embodiments, the ceramic matrix comprises a material similar to the reinforcement to improve compatibility of the composite materials. The weak bond material allows debonding and "frictional" sliding between the constituents of the composite and inhibits crack growth across the interface.
摘要:
A low-density resin impregnated ceramic article advantageously employed as a structural ceramic ablator comprising a fired preform of ceramic fibers. The fibers of the ceramic preform are coated with an organic resin film. The organic resin can be a thermoplastic resin or a cured thermosetting resin. In one embodiment, the resin is uniformly distributed within the ceramic article. In a second embodiment, the resin is distributed so as to provide a density gradient along at least one direction of the ceramic article. The resin impregnated ceramic article is prepared by providing a fired preform of ceramic fibers; immersing the preform of ceramic fibers in a solution of a solvent and an organic resin infiltrant; and removing the solvent to form a resin film on the ceramic fibers.

A composite abrasive filament, including at least one preformed core at least partially coated with a hardened, abrasive-filled thermoplastic elastomer, exhibits increased abrading life over previously known abrasive filaments. Also disclosed are methods of making such filaments and using such filaments in article form to abrade a variety of workpieces.
摘要:
A fiber reinforced ceramic composite material exhibiting high tensile strength, high fracture toughness and high-temperature oxidation resistance is produced by simultaneously depositing a thin coating layer of refractory metal carbide with fugitive carbon onto the fiber reinforcement prior to the subsequent densification with the ceramic matrix. The energy behind propagating matrix cracks in the resulting composite material are effectively dissipated by crack deflection/branching, fiber debonding and frictional slip through the relatively weak and compliant fiber coating layer. These energy release and arrest mechanisms sufficiently impede the driving force behind unstable crack propagation and render the cracks non-critical, thereby serving to blunt and/or divert propagating matrix cracks at or around the reinforcing fiber. While significantly increasing the strength and fracture toughness of the composite, the compliant refractory fiber coating system enables the composite to remain oxidatively stable when stressed at or beyond the matrix cracking stress point and subsequently exposed to temperatures above 800.degree.

摘要:
A fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composite material exhibiting high tensile strength, high fracture toughness and high-temperature oxidation resistance is produced by alternatively depositing multiple thin layers of ceramic material separated by very thin intermediate layers of fugitive carbon onto the fiber reinforcement prior to the subsequent densification with the ceramic matrix. The energy behind propagating matrix cracks in the resulting composite material are effectively dissipated by the progressive increase in crack deflection/branching and frictional slip through the successive ceramic layers of the multilayer fiber coating system. These energy release and arrest mechanisms sufficiently impede the driving force behind unstable crack propagation and render the cracks non-critical, thereby serving to blunt and/or divert propagating matrix cracks at or around the reinforcing fiber. While significantly increasing the strength and fracture toughness of the composite, the multilayer refractory fiber coating system enables the composite to remain oxidatively stable when stressed at or beyond the matrix cracking stress point and subsequently exposed to temperatures above 800.degree.
