Abstract
Ceramic matrix composite materials are being considered the primary materials for hot structures of future launch vehicles. Melt infiltrated composites based on the liquid silicon infiltration process have proven their suitability under extreme thermo-mechanical environments in different structural parts like nose caps, nozzle jet vanes and engine flaps. Considerable progress has been achieved within the last few years to mature the manufacture technology and to tailor the properties of the materials. Among low densities and high damage tolerance behaviour C/C–SiC composites show superior tribological properties predestining these materials for advanced friction systems.
