Ceramic Matrix Composites Market: Vendors Are Emphasizing Cost Efficiency
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a class of materials that show considerable promise to provide fracture-toughness values similar to the one needed for metals such as cast iron. Ceramic matrix composites primarily of two types are being developed, wherein the first type includes continuous reinforcement such as fiber, and the second type includes discontinuous reinforcing phase such as whiskers. Failure behavior is the major difference between the two types of CMCs that are under development. Continuous-fiber-reinforced materials can support a...
