Abstract
CFCCs have much greater damage tolerance than monolithic ceramics and can be cut by abrasive water-jet cutting methods, which are significantly less expensive than diamond machining. The critical issue is whether the water-jet cutting has a deleterious effect on the CFCC mechanical properties. The diamond machining and water-jet cutting methods were compared for 2D CFCC tensile coupons made with Blackglas ceramic matrix and Nicalon fabric. Results show that abrasive water-jet cutting has no negative effect on the tensile strength and strain-to-failure of the Blackglas CFCCs and is a suitable low-cost alternative machining method, given the differences in surface finish an dimensional tolerances compared to diamond machining.
