Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are considered as the most promising materials to replace super alloys in common rocket propulsion systems due to their excellent mechanical and thermal properties at high temperatures and low material densities. To demonstrate the capabilities of CMCs, a test campaign for new upper stage propulsion systems were per...

Alternative energy and the transition away from fossil fuels is one of the core subjects of current politics. In the automotive industry the internal combustion engine, however, remains the most commonly used power unit. In terms of improving its environmental compatibility, the current research goal is to increase its efficiency and service life w...

The wet-laid nonwoven as a preform manufacturing technique for C/C-SiCs has been pioneered in this study and holds great promises for the field, especially for hybrid materials. The wet-laid nonwovens are compatible with liquid silicon infiltration (LSI), and standalone samples of the wet-laid nonwoven ceramics, as well as a hybrid material, were p...

Silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (SiC/SiC CMCs) are promising candidates for hot gas components in jet engines. Three common manufacturing routes are chemical vapor infiltration, reactive melt infiltration (RMI) and polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP). A combination of the processes seems attractive: the remai...

Silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (SiC/SiC CMCs) are promising candidates for components in the hot gas section of jet engines, as they exhibit high temperature resistance and low density compared to their metal alloy counterparts. Three common manufacturing routes are chemical vapor infiltration, reactive melt infi...

In the aerospace and energy sector, materials with high thermal conductivity, chemical stability and good thermal shock resistance, a low coefficient of thermal expansion combined with a high specific strength are indispensable. Silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics are predestined for demanding applications like heat exchangers, propulsion systems or lig...

Die Verbesserung bzw. Optimierung des Betriebs von Trägerstufen benötigt ein besseres Verständnis der relevanten physikalischen Vorgänge und die Entwicklung neuer Technologien zur Erhöhung der Effizienz und Zuverlässigkeit solcher Raumtransporter. Eine zweckmäßige Wiederverwendbarkeit wird als maßgebliches Mittel gesehen um ebendiese Erhöhung der E...

Carbon fiber reinforced ceramics manufactured via liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) have been developed at DLR since the late 1980s. Carbon fibers are infiltrated with a polymer based matrix which will be converted to carbon during the pyrolysis process and then reacted to SiC by LSI. The resulting C/C-SiC composites show high abrasion resistance,...
