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.
