High-strength composite material for a wide range of high-temperature applications with a capacity of up to 2,800 °C in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere
The technology donor offers a broad spectrum and wide range of high- temperature applications, with capability ranging up to 2,800 °C in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, and uses the principle of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) when it comes to coating and using chemical vapour infiltration (CVI) to deposit or infiltrate thin layers onto a sub- strate through thermal decomposition of the vapours. Layer thickness ranges from a few nanometres to several hundred micrometres.
These materials were used for space applications e.g. for the production of mirrors. This applies especially to ultra-light opto- mechanical systems.
Designed for use in extremely demanding environment in space, these products are characterized by an extremely low brittleness as well as a shrinkage that can be exactly defined during the manufacturing process.
