Oxide CMC benefits
Ceramic Matric Composites (CMCs) combine refractoriness of ceramics and pseudo-plasticity of composites.
Ox/Ox CMCs have redefined durability and efficiency by offering reliable performance at temperatures up to 1,300°C. Among their benefits, high oxidation and corrosion resistances, whereas non-oxide CMCs require protective coatings, and the possibility of producing intricate shaped components can be mentionned.
These adavantages have revolutionized manufacturing processes and product designs in various industries, including the aerospace field for critical components suh as heat shield, turbine blades, combustion lines for their overall performances and fuel efficiency.
Thanks to CMC ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions and external influences, they could also find applications in emerging industries and in forming processes, such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) and advanced molding technologies by opening the door to more intricate and tailored components.
