Description
In response to Navy SBIR Topic N231-072, Applied Technology Solutions, Inc. (ATS) proposes to develop an innovative and beneficial process for producing high-temperature yarns from short silicon carbide (SiC) fibers. The yarn manufacturing process described within this proposal, in conjunction with a laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) process for manufacturing short, high-strength, high-temperature SiC fibers, will reduce supply chain risk and open up an additional source of SiC fiber that could be integrated into traditional compositing processes. Due to its discontinuous nature, this yarn will provide improved drapability and formability for complex geometries. Enhanced drapability will also lead to lower composite manufacturing costs due to reduced labor, reduced tooling requirements, and overall increased manufacturing efficiencies.
