Processing Technology Research in Composites.
Abstract
Chemical vapor deposition has been used for over fifteen years for depositing carbon matrices in carbon/carbon composites used for reentry nose-tips, rocket nozzle throat inserts, and aircraft brakes. The same technology is appropriate for depositing silicon carbide or other matrices in ceramic-ceramic composites, or ceramic/carbon composites. Furthermore, chemical vapor deposition is a powerful technique for applying the graded oxidation resistant coatings required for carbon/carbon composites in long time oxidizing environments. Modern instrumentation allows many variations in properties to be made which had been impossible in the past. It is for these reasons that we proposed the acquisition of a state-of-the-art Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition Apparatus. (JES)
