Abstract
Techniques are directed to manufacturing a ceramic component. The techniques include placing a porous preform into a preceramic liquid precursor such that the preceramic liquid precursor permeates into the porous preform. The techniques further includes heating the porous preform to a cracking temperature of the preceramic liquid precursor to deposit ceramic material onto and within the porous preform.
Claims18
A method of manufacturing a ceramic component, the method comprising:
- placing a porous preform into a preceramic liquid precursor such that the preceramic liquid precursor permeates into the porous preform;
- and
- heating the porous preform to a cracking temperature of the preceramic liquid precursor to deposit ceramic material onto and within the porous preform.
A ceramic component, comprising:
- a high-entropy ceramic (HEC) material having submicron pores, the submicron pores inhibiting crack propagation within the ceramic component.
