Presentation Transcript

  1. CARBON/CARBON COMPOSITES

  2. What are C/C Composites? C/C composites are lightweight, high-strength composite materials capable of withstanding temperatures over 3000°C. C/C composites use the strength and modulus of carbon fibers to reinforce a carbon matrix to resist the rigors of extreme environments.

  3. Production of C/C • Three dimensional woven carbon fiber structure • Pressure impregnation with liquid • Heat treated at 2550°C • Impregnation, DENSIFICATION and graphitization cycle repeated

  4. Applications • NASA thermal protection systems • Nozzle throat inserts • Nosetips & leading edges • Space motor nozzles
