Fiber-pushout tests performed at temperatures up to 1,100 degrees C. Apparatus performs fiber-pushout tests using radiant heating in vacuum. Vacuum maintained by turbopump prevents significant specimen oxidation during test. Successfully applied to metal and ceramic matrix composites being developed for jet engines. Applicable to many industrial applications, such as automotive components and energy-conversion devices. Previous Brief, "New Testing Tool for Composite Interfaces" (LEW-15297), describes apparatus designed to perform fiber-pushout testing at room temperature.
