Effect Of Steam Environment On Creep Behavior Of Nextel720/Alumina-Mullite Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature, Tolga Kutsal
Effect Of Steam Environment On Creep Behavior Of Nextel720/Alumina-Mullite Ceramic Matrix Composite At Elevated Temperature, Tolga Kutsal
Theses and Dissertations
The tensile creep behavior of an oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composite (CMC) was investigated at 1000 and 1100° C in laboratory air and steam. The oxide-oxide CMC studied in this research was Nextel™ 720/alumina-mullite (N720/AM). The composite consists of N720/fibers with 0°/90° fiber orientation and a porous alumina-mullite matrix. Tensile-strain behavior was investigated and tensile properties measured at 900, 1000 and 1100° C. The effect of loading rate on tensile properties of N720/AM ceramic matrix composite at 1100° C in steam was also examined. Creep-rupture tests were performed at 1100° C in laboratory air and steam, and at 1000° C only …

Cyclic Creep And Recovery Behavior Of Nextel™ 720/Alumina Ceramic Matrix Composite At 1200° C In Air And Steam Environments, Bridgett A. Whiting
Theses and Dissertations
The cyclic creep and recovery behaviors of the N720/Al2O3 composite were investigated in this research. The ceramic matrix composite (CMC) contains a porous alumina matrix with laminated, woven mullite/alumina (NextelTM 720) fibers. The composite does not have an interface between the fiber and matrix. The CMC relies on the porous nature for flaw tolerance. The objective of this study the influences of monotonic creep and cyclic creep loading histories on the creep lifetime, creep strain rate, accumulated creep strain as well as on the recovery of creep strain at near zero stress. The cyclic creep and …
