Abstract:
A wet filament winding method and apparatus for producing a consolidated metal matrix composite is described. The methods are directed to winding a softened metal infiltrated fiber bundle and layering the resulting softened metal infiltrated fiber bundle onto a rotating mandrel in a prescribed pattern on the surface of the mandrel to form a consolidated metal matrix composite. Upon cooling, the matrix metal solidifies and the resulting consolidated metal matrix composite may be removed from the mandrel. The consolidated metal matrix composites may be produced in a variety of shapes, such as cylinder, a tapered cylinder, a sphere, an ovoid, a cube, a rectangular solid, a polygonal solid, and panels.
Abstract:
The invention includes the use of a high-modulus fiber metal matrix composite material as a backing plate for physical vapor deposition targets, as a lid for microelectronics packages, as a heat spreader, and as a heat sink. In one implementation, copper-coated carbon fibers are mixed with copper powder. In another implementation, the mixture is consolidated to a carbon fiber metal matrix composite by using a vacuum hot press. The resultant backing plate has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 4.9 x 10 /C, thermal conductivity of at least 300 W/mK, density of greater than 99% of theoretical, and the composite material of the backing plate is 30% lighter than Cu while also having higher stiffness than Cu. The high-modulus fiber metal matrix composite backing plate can be used for high power W, Ta, and ceramic PVD targets.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the fabrication of thick, three-dimensional preforms comprising fibers disposed as chords of a circle, and to composites comprising such structures embedded in a matrix material such as a thermoset resin, ceramic, metal or carbon. The fibrous preform structure composed of fiber disposed as chords of a circle produces a range of composite structures from isotropic orientation at the lamina level to balanced, symmetric lamina to best satisfy end use requirements. Carbon-carbon fiber composite articles produced from these chordal preforms are obtained by carbonizing such structures followed by infiltration with pyrolytic carbon using CVD processes exhibit attractive properties for high energy friction applications.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for forming extrudate filament, which consist essentially of fiber, organic binder, and metal and /or ceramic. The extrudate filament can be spooled, or used to form preforms, and/or assemblages of preforms. In further methods, the extrudate filament and/or preforms can be used to fabricate fiber-reinforced metal-matrix or ceramic-matrix or metal and ceramic matrix composite parts, which consist essentially of fiber in a matrix of metal, or ceramic, or metal and ceramic, respectively.
Abstract:
A skeletal composite material includes an internal skeleton structure surrounded by a matrix material. The skeleton structure and the matrix are made of different materials having different properties. It should be appreciated that the skeleton structure and the matrix can be made of any suitable material including metal, ceramic, carbon, polymers, or combinations of these materials. Preferably, the skeleton structure and/or the matrix are made primarily of metal or ceramic. The skeletal composite material can be made by filling a skeleton structure with powder, compacting the skeleton structure and powder to form a preform, and consolidating the preform to form the skeletal composite material.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verbundbauteil, bei dem eine mit Fasern gebildete flächige Frei- und/oder Hohlräume aufweisende Struktur zumindest bereichsweise an zwei gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen mit jeweils einem aus einem Metall bestehenden Element eingefasst ist. Die flächige Struktur ist mit den Elementen stoffschlüssig und/oder formschlüssig miteinander verbunden. Dabei wird eine stoffschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung mittels durch Hohlräume oder Freiräume in der Struktur hindurchgeführte Armierungselemente, die zumindest im Bereich der Struktur senkrecht zur Ebene der flächigen Struktur ausgerichtet sind, erreicht ist. Allein oder zusätzlich wird eine stoffschlüssige und/oder formschlüssige Verbindung der Struktur mit den Elementen durch eine Sinterung mindestens eines metallischen Pulvers, bei der mindestens ein metallisches Element aus dem Pulver herstellbar ist, erreicht, indem Frei- oder Hohlräume der Struktur mit Metall gefüllt sind.
Abstract:
La présente invention porte sur une poutre (11) de suspension de turbomoteur à la structure d'un aéronef comprenant un premier moyen d'attache (12) agencé pour être fixé à ladite structure d'aéronef et au moins un deuxième moyen d'attache (13, 14) agencés pour être fixés au moteur. La poutre est caractérisée par le fait qu'elle est réalisée au moins en partie en matériau composite à matrice métallique incorporant des fibres de renfort (11 'A). Selon une première mise en œuvre de l'invention, la poutre est en forme d'arc de cercle.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for assemblies comprising metal matrix composite bars where the bars only intermittently have mutual contact. Minimally two bars of metal matrix composite are joined, for example, by lap joints, or by the use of incorporated tabs and slots or over-lapping slots, at areas of mutual contact to form the assemblies. The metal matrix composite assemblies of the present invention may be readily assembled to provide structures, supports, or sub-assemblies, and the like, that may exhibit high strength and stiffness coupled with relatively low mass. Additionally, such assemblies may withstand exposure to elevated temperatures higher than can be tolerated by polymeric composites. Such assemblies are expected to be particularly suitable for lightweight, stiff support structures for space booms, satellite structures, mirror backings, solar panel supports, wall reinforcement, and the like.
