  • Hybrid composite article and missile components and their fabrication
    Patent number: 5979826
    Abstract: A surface-protected composite article, such as a missile component, is prepared with a heat-sink substrate, a first composite layer of an pre-ceramic-matrix structural composite material, and a second composite layer of a reinforced silicone pre-ceramic material. The silicone material is co-curable with the organic matrix of the first composite layer. The silicone at the surface of the article is thereafter converted to a silica refractory by an appropriate treatment such as exposure to an oxygen-rich plasma or a high-surface temperature. The silica protects the surface of the composite material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 1998
    Date of Patent: November 9, 1999
