Abstract
A method of producing fiber reinforced glass composites of complex shapes (e.g. having curved portions such as cylindrical) is disclosed. A continuous length of fiber, such as silicon carbide, is passed through a slurry of glass powder and a carrier liquid containing a polymeric binder to impregnate the fiber. The impregnated fiber is next dried and woven into a predetermined structural shape. Plies of the woven fiber cut to near net shape may also be stacked into the desired shape. The thus laid fibers are hot pressed into a fiber reinforced glass matrix composite article having glass matrix distributed substantially uniformly therethrough and multiaxial strength in at least three mutually exclusive perpendicular directions.
