摘要:
A containment case comprises a composite core, with an inner surface, and at least one ceramic layer integrated with the composite core. The at least one ceramic layer is bonded to the inner surface of the composite core with a resin. In another embodiment, a containment case comprises a composite core, with an inner surface, and a hybrid material comprising at least one ceramic material and at least one non-ceramic material. The hybrid material is disposed on the inner surface of the composite core. The hybrid material is bonded to the inner surface of the composite core with a resin. A method of fabricating a containment case includes the steps of disposing one or more layers of ceramic fabric on an inner surface of a composite core, infusing the composite core and the one or more layers of ceramic fabric with resin, and curing the resin.

A method for fabricating a turbine engine composite containment casing is provided. The method comprising impregnating a plurality of fiber-reinforced layers with a resin to form a preform, heating the preform to a first temperature, applying a vacuum to the preform, varying an amount of pressure applied to the preform when the temperature reaches the first temperature, heating the preform from the first temperature to a second temperature at a first temperature rate, and heating the preform from the second temperature to a third temperature at a second temperature rate to facilitate curing of the preform.
