Abstract
A blank material for manufacturing fiber-reinforced coatings or metal components comprising fibers made of a high-strength material and metals or metal alloys, and a process for manufacturing the blank, and for manufacturing coatings and components made therefrom. The fibers are aligned in the blank in parallel to its axis, and metal wire meshes are knitted around them, with the fibers embedded at a distance from one another. By means of high-temperature isostatic pressing, metal components can be made, through which the reinforcing fibers extend at a uniform distance.
Claims13
A blank material for manufacturing fiber reinforced coatings and metal components comprising:
- a plurality of fibers made from a material which has a high tensile strength and is stable at high temperatures, wherein the material is SiC;
- a knitted metal wire material comprising a plurality of metal wire meshes made of titanium, the metal wire material including lower metal wire meshes and upper metal wire meshes;
- said fibers being knitted into and held in said wire material in an orientation in which said fibers are separated from each other and are parallel to each other and to an axis of said blank;
- wherein the fibers are woof yarns and are arranged in an upper layer and in a lower layer, the lower layer being surrounded by the lower metal wire meshes, and the upper layer being surrounded by the upper metal wire meshes, and the fibers extend in straight lines.
