NITE Method Intermediate Materials

C/SiC composites and SiC/SiC composites based on the NITE method are manufactured by combining intermediate materials such as prepreg-sheet, green sheet, and pre-composite ribbon and using near-net shaping technology to form the final product. The uni-directional reinforcement is produced domestically by NITE. (Production and supply in the U.S. at AXIOM Materials Inc. is scheduled to begin in October 2024.) As for intermediate materials that are reinforced with textiles, we will import and sell products from AXIOM Materials Inc. in the U.S., except for some products that use carbon fiber

prepreg sheet

＊Matrix: NITE-SiC
Specification changes will be accepted after detailed discussion.

green sheet

This product is made by molding NITE method slurry into a sheet shape.　

Standard specifications
＊supporting material: 200mm wide PET film is used as the substrate.
＊Sheet Thickness: 0.3mm
　　(variable from 0.1mm to 0.7mm)
＊Standard dimensions: 160mm x 50m　
　　(delivered wrapped around a bobbin)

NITE C/SiC Composites

The C/SiC composites are manufactured based on the international patent NITE method (nano-powder impregnation and transition eutectic sintering).

Tube, plates,
and blocks

Standard specifications
(common to thin diameter pipes, plates, and blocks)
＊C fiber: Toray T300B (This is basically a 2D product made by laminating UD prepreg sheets.) We can also supply products reinforced with carbon fiber fabrics upon request)
＊Matrix: NITE-SiC
Specification can be flexible upon request.

SiC/SiC Composites by NITE Method

NITE-SiC/SiC composite products are fabricated by international patents based on nano-technology, which is known as NITE method. NITE method stands for Nano Infiltration and Transient Eutectic Phase method, innovative modification of liquid phase sintering method.

Note: The followings are standard specification. Those are negotiable for change.　　　
＊SiC fiber : Hi-Nicalon Type S　（500 fiber/strand)
＊CVD-C fiber coating：100-300nm
＊Matrix：NITE-SiC
