PSC-10

Baseline C/SiC CMCs with service temps up to 3000°F

PSI’s baseline C/SiC composite system, PSC-10, combines the affordability and mechanical performance of C/C composites with the advanced thermal performance of a SiC matrix phase with lower production costs and shorter processing times than both C/C and SiC/SiC CMCs.

Capability Description:

PSC-10 is PSI’s baseline C/SiC CMC. We begin with aerospace-grade carbon fiber pre-preg that is laminated and cured in-house to fabricate our CMC components. The cured organic preforms are then burned out and ceramatized to form the SiC matrix. These C/SiC composites have service temperatures up to 3000°F. The PSC-10 system is compatible with the UHT-21 system and can be produced in multiple product forms including our direct z-pin insertion

Key Features:

Service temperatures up to 3000°F
Tensile Strengths greater than that of standard C/C
Compatible with UHT-21 as a Hybrid System, as well as Z-pinning

Benefit to Customer:

The PSC-10 system combines the affordability of Carbon/ Carbon composites with the thermal performance of SiC-matrix composites.

Production of PSC-10 components in PSI’s Wilmington facilities can have fabrication timelines as short as 8 weeks from start to finish.
