Fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites are considered to be difficult-to-machine materials, its machining especially forming machining is very difficult. The silica fiber reinforced silica composite is studied by grinding experiment in this paper. The surface morphology of the specimens are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, and the grinding mechanism of the composite is also analyzed. Grinding depth and feed speed is separately changed to study the grinding force. The influence of the blunt wheel on surface morphology and geometric accuracy of the specimen after grinding is explored. This research may be helpful to improve the machining quality of silica fiber reinforced silica composite.

In the field of civil aviation, the most important factor is safety quality. Improving aircraft performance can increase flight safety factor in some degree. To improve the thrust-to-weight ratio of aircraft engines and reduce fuel consumption, the fundamental measure is to increase the turbine inlet temperature of engines, while hot-section components is directly related to the maximum allowable operating temperature. Ceramic-matrix composite (CMC) material is one of the important candidate materials for aeroengine. To improve CMCs in aircraft engine application, it is necessary to investigate the failure mechanism of CMCs and also failure models. However, during operation, matrix multiple cracking occurs with fiber debonding and fracture, which affects the flight safety and failure risk. In this chapter, the multiple matrix cracking of fiber-reinforced CMCs is investigated using energy balance approach.

Abstract Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are quickly becoming more prevalent in the design of gas turbines due to their advantageous weight and thermal properties. While there are many advantages, the CMC surface morphology differs from that of conventional cast airfoil components. Despite a great deal of research focused on the material properties of CMCs, little public work has been done to investigate the impact that the CMC surface morphology has on the boundary layer development and resulting heat transfer. In this study, a scaled-up CMC weave pattern was developed and tested in a low speed wind tunnel to evaluate both heat transfer and boundary layer characteristics. Results from these experiments indicate that the CMC weave pattern results in augmented heat transfer and flow field properties that significantly vary locally when compared to a smooth surface.

Honeywell Advanced Composites Inc. (ACI) has been working with OEM’s to develop, fabricate, and test ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials for partial and full replacement of hot section turbine engine components. Using Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) technology, silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix parts, such as full annular combustion liners and inserts for leading edges on nozzle guide vanes have been fabricated and tested.

A model of the transition layer between the shell and the core of a ceramic matrix composite from coal waste and clay has been developed. The chemical, granulometric and mineral compositions of the beneficiation of carbonaceous mudstones and clay were studied. The technological and ceramic properties of raw materials for the samples manufacturing were determined. The method of manufacturing multilayer ceramic samples from coal waste, clay and their mixture is given. The number of transition layers in the contact zone between the clay shell and the core from coal wastes is determined. The deformation and swelling phenomena of model samples from coal wastes, clay, and their mixtures were revealed at the firing temperature of more than 1000 °C. The formation of a reducing ambient in the center of the sample with insufficient air flow is shown. The influence of the carbonaceous particles amount and the ferrous form iron oxide in the coal wastes on the processes of expansion of multilayer samples during firing has been established.
