Reaction bonded ceramics for ceramic composite materials comprising mullite as the main component and corundum and thortveitite or cerianite as minor components
Reaction Bonded Ceramics for Ceramic Composite Materials Comprising Mullite as the Main Component and Corundum and Thortveitite or Cerianite as Minor Components The present invention pertains to reaction bonded mullite-containing ceramic molded parts, a process for their preparation and their use. A particular embodiment of the present invention consists in reaction bonded mullite-containing ceramic molded parts, obtainable by the heat-treatment of a finely dispersed mixture of an aluminum-containing material, a silicon-containing material, and a rare earth metal-containing material in an oxygen-containing atmosphere.
The heat resisting fiber-reinforced composite material of the invention is a heat-resisting fiber-reinforced composite material used for a product or a part that generates temperature distribution; wherein the thermal expansion coefficient at a portion corresponding to a medium to low temperature range is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient at a portion corresponding to a high temperature range, and the boundary between the portion corresponding to medium to low temperature range and the portion corresponding to the high temperature range is a transition region.
