Advanced technical ceramics – Mechanical properties of ceramic composites at high temperature under inert atmosphere – Determination of compression properties
This European Standard specifies the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2000°C under vacuum or a gas atmosphere which is inert to the material under test.This European Standard applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tridirectional (xD, with 2 < x <= 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.Two types of compression are distinguished:a) compression between platens;b) compression using grips.
