Development of Composite Structural Materials for High Temperature Applications
Abstract
The purpose of the program has been the development of new structural composite materials having high strength-to-weight ratios at elevated temperatures. The effort is being directed towards the use of heat resistant metals and alloys as the matrix for ultra-high strength Al2O3 single crystal whiskers. The major effort was placed on evaluating factors important to two potential methods for making high strength composites; namely, electroplating and subsequent pressure bonding at high temperatures (EP/PB), and liquid metal infiltration. In support of these studies, some effort was devoted to whisker growth, whisker metallizing, and whisker handling (beneficiation, classification, and orientation) studies.
