Process Chain Development for the Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Braided Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites

Fiber composites with a three-dimensional braided reinforcement architecture have higher fiber volume content and Z-fiber content compared to a two-dimensional braided reinforcement architecture; as a result, the shear strength increases. Porous oxide fiber composites (OFCs) have the inherent weakne...

Process Chain Development for the Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Braided Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites
description Fiber composites with a three-dimensional braided reinforcement architecture have higher fiber volume content and Z-fiber content compared to a two-dimensional braided reinforcement architecture; as a result, the shear strength increases. Porous oxide fiber composites (OFCs) have the inherent weakness of a low interlaminar shear strength, which can be specifically increased by the use of a three-dimensional fiber reinforcement. In this work, the braiding process chain for processing highly brittle oxide ceramic fibers is modified; as a consequence, a bobbin, which protects the filament, is developed and quantitatively evaluated on a test rig with regard to tension and filament breakage. Subsequently, a braiding process is designed which takes into account fiber-protecting aspects, and a three-dimensional reinforced demonstrator is produced and tested. After impregnation with an Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-ZrO<sub>2</sub> slurry, by either a prepreg process or a vacuum-assisted process, as well as subsequent sintering, the three-dimensional braid-reinforced OFC exhibits an interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) which is higher than that of two-dimensional braid- or fabric-reinforced samples by 64–95%. The influence of the manufacturing process on the relative macropore content is investigated and correlated with the mechanical properties.
