Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a ceramic article (3) from a metal or metal matrix composite preform (1) provided by 3D-printing or by 3D-weaving. The preform (1) is placed in a heating chamber (2), and a predetermined time-temperature profile is applied in order to controllably react the preform (1) with a gas introduced into the heating chamber (2). The metal, the gas and the time-temperature profile are chosen so as to induce a metal-gas reaction resulting in at least a part of the preform (1) transforming into a ceramic. Preferred embodiments of the invention comprises a first oxidation stage involving a metal-gas reaction in order to form a supporting oxide layer (5) at the surface of the metal, followed by a second stage in which the heating chamber (2) is heated to a temperature above the melting point of the metal to increase the kinetics of the chemical reaction. The invention also relates to a number of advantageous uses of a ceramic article manufactured as described.

Abstract:
Densified composites of a metal such as copper or aluminum with a titanium- silicon-carbide or titanium-aluminum-carbide ceramic material are prepared by forming the ceramic material into a body, and infiltrating the body with the molten metal. The metal is able to rapidly penetrate into void spaces, between grain boundaries and even into the crystal structure of the ceramic grains to form a composite. The starting ceramic material may be previously densified, in which case various types of gradient structures can be produced easily. The process can be operated at low pressures, and so the hot pressing methods that normally must be used to densify these ceramic materials can be avoided.
Abstract:
A defect-free vitreous carbon material having a three-dimensional (x,y,z) size in which each of the x, y and z dimensions exceeds twelve millimeters. A process of making such vitreous carbon material employs a three-dimensional fiber mesh that vaporizes at elevated temperature, in which the mesh is impregnated with a polymerizable resin and thereafter the resin is cured. During the initial stage(s) of pyrolysis, the mesh volatilizes to yield a residual network of passages in the cured resin body that thereafter allows gases to escape during pyrolysis of the cured resin material to form the vitreous carbon product. As a result, it is possible to form defect-free vitreous carbon material of large size, suitable for use in structural composites, and product articles such as sealing members, brake linings, electric motor brushes, and bearing members.
Abstract:
Methods for enhancing the strength and stiffness of fibers, including nanoreinforced fibers and fiber tows, composite materials including the nanoreinforced fibers and tows, and articles of manufacture including the composite materials, are disclosed. The methods involve adhering random or aligned nanoreinforcement materials, such as carbon nanotubes, nanofibers, graphene plates, nanowires, nanoparticles, into or onto a spread carbon tow or yarn to form modified fibers wherein nanoreinforcement is adhered or trapped within the carbon tow. The carbon nanotubes or nanofibers can be aligned. Carbon fiber tows including the modified carbon fibers can be processed or woven for impregnation with a thermoset resin or thermoplastic to form a composite structure. The performance increase of the modified fibers relative to the unmodified fibers can be greater than the weight increase caused by the modification. Increased fiber stiffness and strength can result in a significant weight saving.
