Abstract
Containment assemblies and methods for forming containment assemblies of gas turbine engines are provided. For example, a containment assembly comprises a containment case including a plurality of coated fibers. Each coated fiber comprises a fiber surrounded by a ceramic material such that the ceramic material coats the fiber. As another example, a containment assembly comprises an inner case and a containment case comprising a plurality of coated fibers. Each coated fiber comprises a fiber surrounded by a ceramic material such that the ceramic material coats the fiber. The containment case includes a greater proportion of the coated fibers at an inner surface of a layer of the containment case than at a location within the containment case that is radially outward from the inner surface. Methods for forming a containment assembly of a gas turbine engine are provided.
