CONTINUOUS FIBER CERAMIC COMPOSITE PROGRAM |
|
In 1992, the Department of Energy initiated a 10 year joint R&D effort between
industry, academia, and government to develop advanced ceramic composite materials for
industrial applications. Continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) are lighter,
stronger, and more damage tolerant than other materials available for high temperature
use. This cost-shared program will provide significant energy savings for industry, and
contribute to the economic prosperity of the United States. http://www.ms.ornl.gov/cfcc/home.htm |
