Ceramic matrix composite turbocharger housing

摘要

A heat-resistant, thermally insulative, ductile turbocharger housing for an internal combustion engine having a structure comprised at least partially of fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite (FRCMC) material. The FRCMC material includes a polymer-derived ceramic resin in its ceramic form and fibers. The material, being for the most part ceramic, provides the heat-resistance and thermal insulating capabilities of the FRCMC material, while the fibers produce a desired degree of ductility in the FRCMC material.
