Joined composite structures with a graded coefficient of thermal expansion for extreme environment applications

An integrated composite structure with a graded coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is formed by selecting a plurality of layers of materials with a graded CTE and using joining approaches such as welding, brazing, or solid state bonding to produce a CTE-graded layered composite or near net shape...

Zusammenfassung:An integrated composite structure with a graded coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is formed by selecting a plurality of layers of materials with a graded CTE and using joining approaches such as welding, brazing, or solid state bonding to produce a CTE-graded layered composite or near net shape. The integrated composite billet or near net shape is then processed to produce a first surface for attachment of a first structural member having a first CTE and to produce a second surface of for attachment of a second structural member having a second CTE.
