Materials & Processes Working Group
Vision Statement
To be the primary and authoritative source for information on the composition, fabrication, and characterization of CMC engineering materials and structures.
Goals
- To define the essential elements of information on composition, structure, and processing of CMCs necessary to design, select, fabricate, and utilize CMC structures.
- To specify the methods and procedures to be used in the characterization of ceramic matrix composites and their constituents.
- To provide a comprehensive overview of ceramic matrix composite technology, outlining the history, applications, benefits, ceramic composite systems, methods of fabrication, quality control, and supportability.
Objectives
- Define the materials and processing data elements and formats for the CMC data sheets.
- Define materials and processing data package requirements, in terms of nomenclatures, methods, formats and priorities.
- Provide detailed guidance on methods and procedures for characterizing CMC composites and their constituents.
- Prepare the Introduction section (history, applications, benefits, CMC systems, etc.) of the CMC handbook.
- Prepare the Materials, Processing, & Fabrication section of the CMC handbook. Prepare the Supportability section of the CMC handbook.
