Abstract:Ceramic‐matrix composites are materials for use in high temperature structural applications. The intrinsic properties of the ceramic‐matrix such as high melting point, high chemical stability, high elastic modulus and hardness, high wear and creep resistance along with low mass density relative to metallic materials are coupled with the properties of high fracture resistance and flaw insensitivity when reinforced with a high strength second phase. The varieties of reinforcements include particles, platelets, w… Show more
