Verbundwerkstoffvorformlingen, Modulen und Strukturen

摘要

A composite preform or module comprises a filamentary reinforcement (16) deposited in a groove (12,44,46,32) pre-formed in a metal or ceramic foil (10,40,42). By depositing the filamentary reinforcement (16) in a groove (12,44,46,32) its position and distribution can be readily determined and held during consolidation of the preform. A plurality of preforms (modules) can be laid together to provide a described structure. The filamentary reinforcement (16) is held in place by, for example, a fugitive binder (36) and grooves 18 allow for the off-gassing of the binder during consolidation.
