COMPOSITE SIC-SIC MODIFIÉ ET STRUCTURES EN COUCHES MONOLITHIQUES À BASE DE SIC

摘要

Systems, structures, devices, and fabrication processes for ceramic matrix composites suitable for use in a nuclear reactor environment and other applications requiring materials that can withstand high temperatures and/or highly corrosive environments are disclosed. In one aspect, a ceramic composite structure is provided. The structure comprises a chamber including an external shell and a hollow space inside the external shell. The external shell includes an inner composite layer including a first composite structure, a middle composite layer placed outside of the inner composite layer, the middle composite layer including a second composite structure that is different from the first composite structure, and an outer monolithic layer that has a spatially uniform material property and placed outside of the middle composite layer.
