Working Group

Reinforcement of Ceramic Materials

Committee members: 100

The working group is the expert platform for developers, manufacturers and users of fiber-reinforced ceramic and composite materials.The meetings of the working group are used for technical presentations on topics such as the measurement of interlaminar tensile and shear properties of composite ceramics, the determination of mechanical characteristic values or the challenges that arise in measurements in the high-temperature range. The practical use of ceramic parts in aircraft engines, micro gas turbines or as coatings in the roll bearing industry also falls within the scope of the working group.
