Ceramic Matrix Composites for Aero Engine Applications—A Review

Ceramic matrix materials have attracted great attention from researchers and industry due to their material properties. When used in engineering systems, especially aero-engine applications, they can result reduced weight, higher temperature capability, and/or cooling needs, each of which increases efficiency. This is where high-temperature ceramics made considerable progress, ceramic composites (CMCs) are the foreground. CMCs classified into non-oxide oxide-based ones. Both families types that a high potential for use propulsion applications. The oxide discussed will focus on alumina aluminosilicate/mullite base families, whereas non-oxides, carbon, silicon carbide, titanium tungsten carbide CMC be analyzed. Typical ones composed an fiber (Ox-Ox). Some most common subcategories alumina, beryllia, ceria, zirconia ceramics. On other hand, largest number non-oxides technical as inorganic, non-metallic materials. well-known carbides, borides, nitrides, silicides. These used, example, combustion liners gas turbine engines exhaust nozzles. Until now, thorough study available non-oxide-based such applications has not been presented. paper assessing literature survey composite terms mechanical thermal properties, well classification fabrication methods those CMCs. manufacturing processes reviewed compared.
