    | Abstract Scope | 
    
Ceramic materials exhibit many excellent material properties, such as high hardness, compressive strength, wear and corrosion resistance, and excellent thermal resistance. However, they are also very brittle and prone to fracture. Using electric field assisted sintering, unique 3D printed continuous carbon fiber carbon matrix composites were fabricated and co-sintered with SiC and B4C ceramics. The novel composites sintering behavior, microstructure, and basic mechanical properties, specifically as it pertains to the ceramic/composite interface, will be presented. |
