Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Details
Green Body Curing:
- To create a green body, StarPCSTM BMCs are compression molded using standard compression molding techniques, tooling, and typical pressures, and are cured at temperatures between 180-250°C.
Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC):
- To create high temperature ceramic matrix composite structures, these green bodies are pyrolyzed to temperatures between 850°C (minimum) and 1,200°C at atmospheric pressure and in inert environments to create a porous ceramic matrix preform. Vacuum infiltration fills the pore volume to allow creation of an amorphous silicon carbide CMC. Ideal infiltration polymers include StarPCSTM SMP-10 or SMP-877.
