This memorandum summarizes information on refractory materials and composites that was presented at the Twelfth Meeting of the Refractory Composites Working Group in Denver, Colorado, on October 17-19, 1966. The memorandum is based on 38 papers that were presented at the meeting. They are reviewed and discussed briefly within the framework of the following four broad areas: materials technology, process technology, specific hardware applications and tests, and evaluation techniques. Included in the section on materials technology are discussions dealing with bulk refractory materials, coated systems, and fiber-reinforced composites. The section on process technology discusses cladding and general fabrication processes. The specific hardware applications and tests cover rocket-motor components, and jet-engine components. The section on evaluation techniques cover thermal, rain erosion, and wear testing. (Author).

Metallic fibers in the form of whiskers, chopped fine wire, or wool have been incorporated into metallic matrices by two principal methods: classical powder-metallurgical methods, and infiltration of the fibers with molten matrix metal. Ceramic fibers, notably alpha-A1203, have been used as whiskers or wool for reinforcing metallic matrices, the methods of preparation of the composite being the same as with metallic fibers. When metallic fibers are used to reinforce ceramics, the ceramic is either slip cast into the fiber mat and dried, or a mixture of the fiber and ceramic is hot pressed. Plastics and elastomers are combined with fibers by several methods, for example, dipping a sintered skeleton of the fibers into liquid Teflon. Several programs have resulted in combinations which show that reinforcement of metals by either metallic or alpha-A1203 fibers is possible. Both the room-temperature and elevatedtemperature tensile properties of the composite seem to increase linearly with the volume fraction of the fiber phase. (Author).
