Abstract

A development status evaluation and prospective performance characteristics projection is made for advanced metal-matrix composites, ceramic-matrix composites, high-temperature polymeric composite resins, and the NDE and process-monitoring techniques that may be employed in order to maximize their performance while minimizing their costs. Attention is given to P/M aluminum alloy matrix-based, superplastically formed SiC whisker-reinforced composites, and the materials requirements of the National Aerospace Plane and NASA Space Station.
