Carbon Ceramic Material
Both the matrix and the fibers can consist of any ceramic material whereby carbon and carbon fibers can also be considered a ceramic material.
Carbon ceramic material. Ceramic matrix composites cmcs are a subgroup of composite materials as well as a subgroup of ceramics they consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix. Perhaps an indicator to their eventual cost the use of heat resistant carbon ceramic based materials originated in the ever so. This is because the material they re made from is much less reactive than steel and iron due to the material s tightly bonded structure. This is an exceptionally high value for ceramics.
The brembo group has been manufacturing carbon ceramic discs for automotive applications since 2002 when it first supplied these components for the ferrari enzo. The resulting quasiductile properties of the ceramic composite material combine the useful properties of carbon fiber reinforced carbon c c and polychrystalline silicon carbide ceramics. Finally carbon ceramic brakes are much cleaner and quieter than conventional steel brakes. Cc composites have broadened the field of application of carbon based materials in wear related applications from bearing seals and electrical brushes to brake pads for heavy duty vehicles from military supersonic and civilian aircrafts to trucks and railways.
The deformation at breaking point of c sic materials ranges from 0 1 to 0 3.
