MIL17, VOLUME 5: Ceramic Matrix Composites features the first published edition of the CMC handbook, which includes information on relevant, commercially available CMC composite systems describing:

• system properties and their process methods :

• testing and characterization methods:

• mechanical properties and databases and

• design guidance tailored to this unique class of materials.

The timely publication of this volume coincides with numerous component level tests and demonstrations of CMC's for targeted high-temperature applications in advanced-engines and structures for industrial, defense and space applications. Material system performance data included in this first edition are; SiC/SiC (MI), SiC/SiC (CVI), C/SiC (CVI), N720AS and Nicalon/SiN.
