Comprehensive Report on Global Ceramic Matrix Composites Market

28.06.11

The aerospace and defense segment is projected to reach $213 million in 2015 from $158 million in 2010 at a CAGR of 6.1%, while the energy and environmental segment is expected to achieve $394 million in 2015 from $277 million in 2010, with a CAGR of 7.3%.

The mechanical/chemical segment reached a value of roughly $315 million in 2010 and is expected to achieve $466 million in 2015 at a CAGR of 8.2%. The other segment, valued at $120 million in 2010, could reach $222 million in 2015 at a CAGR of 13.1%. The report predicts that due to economic downturn, the ceramic composites market would grow at a moderate rate in the coming five years.

Ceramic materials are composed of composites and monolithic composites. Composites are produced with a reinforcing phase, which enhances the mechanical properties of the material, including toughness and thermal shock resistance, while monolithic composites are fragile.

The report covers all companies related to the ceramic matrix composites, especially producers and distributors of ceramic matrix composite products. It also discusses process equipment producers, raw ceramic material suppliers and companies fabricating biocompatible materials, low-friction products, aircraft components, ballistic armor, turbines, high-temperature components, hardened tools and wear-resistant components.

metal/ceramic matrix diamond composite?

Oct 15, 2007 by timantti2006 | Posted in Engineering

which companies produce metal/ceramic matrix diamond composites as thermal management materials

As thermal management materials? I can't think of a one. Probably the most common metal matrix diamond composite is a metal bonded diamond grinding wheel, and I think it's a stretch to consider polycrystalline diamond cutting tools to be ceramic matrix

I have mechanical qustions about Si3N4?

Jan 02, 2008 by scinece | Posted in Engineering

Question 1:
Silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic is used extensively in automotive engine to replace part traditionally made out of metal alloys, such as nickel.
a) Discuss, with respect to the properties of silicon nitride (Si3N4) why it is

Extruded silicon nitride can be made very hard and able to withstand high compressive yield stress. Much more than traditional metal alloys. Turbocharger rotors and other engine components are under extremely high heat and stress (both shear and longitudinal).
