The objective of our research on metal matrix composites and intermetallic matrix composites is to understand their behavior under anticipated future operating conditions envisioned for aerospace power and propulsion systems of the 21st century. Extremes in environmental conditions, high temperature, long operating lives, and cyclic conditions dictate that our test evaluations not only include laboratory testing, but simulated flight conditions. This paper will discuss the various processing techniques we employ to fabricate composites, the basic research underway to understand the behavior of high temperature composites, and relate some of this research to future aerospace systems.
