Carbon Fiber Reinforced CMC for High‐Performance Structures

TLDR
An overview of the design, manufacture, properties, and applications of C/C-SiC ceramics, produced with the liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) process, is given in this article.
Abstract
The demands in space technology originally played the decisive role in the development of carbon fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMC). Within the last few years, the properties and the manufacturing methods were consistently improved, so that now the industry in general can share in the profits of this new class of composite materials. The liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) process is regarded as one of the most promising processes for industrial products, especially if the aspect of cost is considered. An overview of the design, manufacture, properties, and applications of C/C-SiC ceramics, produced with the LSI process, is given in this paper.

Cost Effective Processing of CMC Composites by Melt Infiltration (LSI-Process)

TL;DR: In this article, a cost efficient manufacturing route has been developed by DLR based on the infiltration of a reactive fluid phase into porous carbon fiber preforms, where Molten silicon is used as the reactive fluid which replaces the initial pore volume of the preform and reacts subsequently with the carbon matrix to form silicon carbide.
