Patent number: 8142583Abstract: A method for production of fiber composite components, particularly suitable for the production of profiles of complicated shape with varying profile cross-section and/or with at least parts with curved lines, such as used for the production of aircraft, for example. The method (a) produces plural core components, (b) separates application of a first fiber material to each of the core components, (c) assembles the core components provided with the first fiber material to form a sequence of core components, (d) applies a second fiber material common to the core component sequence along at least one side of the core component sequence, provided with the first fiber material, (e) impregnates and hardens the first and second fiber materials to form a fiber-reinforced component body, and (f) separates the component body into plural sections as represented by the fiber composite components.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2007Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Airbus SASInventors: Juergen Filsinger, Franz Maidl, Andreas Gessler, Marinus Schouten

Publication number: 20100151256Abstract: A method for producing a component having a base body made of a carbon fiber reinforced ceramic and a protective layer which is applied on the base body includes the following steps: providing the base body: applying a first layer on the base body, the first layer comprising a slip with reactive carbon; applying a second layer on the first layer, the second layer comprising a slip with silicon. The application of the layers can be carried out by painting, brushing, filling or dipping techniques, or by fully automatable spraying devices. Finally, the silicon of the second layer is liquefied in a thermal treatment, so that the liquid silicon penetrates into the first layer and forms with the reactive carbon a reaction protective layer composed of a silicon carbide compound.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2008Publication date: June 17, 2010Inventors: Steffen Beyer, Rolf Meistring, Franz Maidl, Stephan Schmidt, Christian Wilhelmi
