This paper reports on an IRAD effort to develop material property allowables data of production grade additively manufactured silicon carbide (SiC) The SiC in this study is reaction bonded and manufactured via a molded, Ceraform® Silicon Carbide, or printed, Ceraprint Silicon Carbide, using production processes and equipment at the AOA facility in Devens, MA. We report statistically significant measurements of materials properties such as density, Young’s Modulus, Poisson’s Ratio, Modulus of Rupture, thermal conductivity, specific heat and coefficient of thermal expansion from 23 Kelvin to 298 Kelvin (-250 °C to +25 °C), for both the formed and printed SiC material. This paper reports on an IRAD effort to develop material property allowables data of production grade additively manufactured silicon carbide (SiC).
