Topic 15 – CMC Applications in Terrestrial Transportation and Industrial Systems
Originally, ceramic matrix composites were developed and used for space and military applications. Meanwhile, other more terrestrial application fields are in the focus of international research where reasonable costs and long lifetime are mandatory. This symposium is related to the current status on all types of oxide as well as non-oxide CMCs and covers industrial applications for example in lightweight transportation systems, combustion environment, heat treatment or other industrial systems and processes. Typically, CMCs are tailored and optimized for specific properties, like high wear resistance and stable tribological behavior in bearings of pumps or brake systems of automotive cars, high-speed trains or high-rise lifts. The high thermal shock resistance in combination with the high oxidation stability of oxide CMCs predestine these composites for innovative applications in heat shields, burner nozzles or charging racks. All kind of application-related contributions to structure-property-relationships and experience in the design of lifetime structures in particular under oxidative conditions are welcome. Also, all cost aspects in the manufacturing and the use of CMCs in industrial systems, including designing, machining, and testing (e.g. NDE) are of interest of this symposium.
