Ultra-high temperature ceramics and ceramic matrix composites
Prof. Jon Binner
University of Birmingham, United Kingdom
Materials able to sustain a wide variety of extreme environments, including ultra-high temperatures, corrosive environments, exposure to radiation, high speed gas flows, etc, are needed for many aerospace and high-energy process industry sector applications.
Some materials already exist, they are the ultra-high temperature ceramics, UHTCs, and the ultra-high temperature ceramic matrix composites, UHTCMCs. They are still relatively new materials but great progress is being made in terms of manufacturing them.
This presentation will examine the materials themselves, their processing, testing and properties, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages, and their likely future directions.
