Method of producing a silicon carbide fiber reinforced strontium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic matrix composite

摘要

A SrO-Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 -2SrO.sub.2 (SAS) glass ceramic matrix is reinforced with CVD SiC continuous fibers. This material is prepared by casting a slurry of SAS glass powder into tapes. Mats of continuous CVD- SiC fibers are alternately stacked with the matrix tapes.P PThis tape-mat stack is warm-pressed to produce a "green" composite. Organic constituents are burned out of the "green" composite, and the remaining interim material is hot pressed.
