BORON/BORON CARBIDE POWDER, CHOPPED CARBON FIBER AND CARBON BASED COMPOSITES FOR HEAT SINKS

摘要

A method of fabricating a brake component is disclosed. In various embodiments, the method includes preparing a mixture comprising a chopped fiber material, a boron-based powder and a binder; applying a pressure to the mixture while in a die to form a preform; and densifying the preform via a chemical vapor infiltration process to form a densified component.
