  Patent

  Bonding carbon-carbon composites through a reactant layer
  

  Inventor(s):

  Allen H. Simpson, Slawomir T. Fryska, Mark L. La Forest, Roger L. Klinedinst, Alexander Mukasyan, Charles D. D'Amico

  Patent Number:

  US 8448685 B2

  Description:

  An apparatus for bonding a first carbon composite to a second carbon composite through a reactant layer includes a housing, and a pair of conductive press plates electrically isolated from the housing. The press plates are adapted to position the two parts to be bonded with a reactant layer therebetween. The press plates are subjected to an electrical potential and a clamping force, sufficient to initiate a combustion reaction that creates a molten ceramic to bond together the carbon-carbon c…
