A construction board comprising a mixture of at least 30 wt % [and preferably at least 40 wt %] magnesium oxide and at least one binding or filling agent forming a core of the board, wherein the board comprises an interior portion positioned in between two opposite surfaces of the board such that at least one reinforcing mesh is positioned in the interior portion of the board.

The present invention relates to method of manufacturing an aircraft interior panel comprising a core sandwiched between first and second skins, wherein both of the first and second skins are formed from natural fibers containing non-halogenated fire-retardant and set within an inorganic thermoset resin, thereby forming a fire-resistant sustainable aircraft interior panel. The method comprises impregnating the natural fibers with non-halogenated fire retardant and an inorganic thermoset resin, and laying up the resin-impregnated natural fibers to sandwich the core. This stack is then cured by raising the temperature of the stack sufficient to initiate curing but without reaching the boiling point of water in the stack, holding the stack at that first temperature before raising the temperature again to reach the boiling point of water in the stack, before cooling the stack.

A process for controlling the embedding depth of reinforcing mesh to a cementitious board is disclosed. The process comprises applying a pressure from a plate to a reinforcing mesh on a core mix moving downstream on a conveyor, wherein the plate vibrates at a rate that assists in embedding the reinforcing mesh at a depth within the core mix such that the reinforcing mesh is barely visible.

Disclosed are composite building boards and associated manufacturing methods. The composite boards may include, for example, one or more slurry layers with embedded fibrous mats. An exterior plastic coating is mechanically adhered to the underlying slurry layer. The plastic layer chemically bonds and cross-links with polymer additives within the slurry layer. The result is an integrated polymer matrix with greatly improved durability and surface strength.

Matrix basalt reinforcing member constructed and arrange to provide lateral support for the longitudinal bar steel or FRP tendons that provide tensile strength to cementitious material or plastics to reduce bending moment by reducing the onset of shear. The reinforcement members are formed from basalt fibers treated with a thermoplastic thermoset polymer and formed into structures to provide structural resistance to bending-moment forces, compression forces, and torsional forces acting on the structure.

This application provides a 5D ceramic housing structure and a 5D ceramic processing process method, to resolve a problem that long processing time of existing CNC and polishing results in high production costs of a housing of an electronic device and low production efficiency. The method includes: obtaining a raw ceramic material, that is, a ceramic powder; performing casting processing on the raw ceramic material to obtain a to-be-sintered green-state ceramic sheet; performing flat ceramic sheet pre-sintering on the green-state ceramic sheet to obtain a sintered product with a shrinkage rate of 18% to 23%; performing 5D heat-bend forming on the sintered product, to enable the sintered product to be further crystallized and deformed by heating to form a ceramic housing; performing fiber adhesion on the ceramic housing; and forming a 5D ceramic housing structure.

A method for producing a component from hardenable material, wherein, in a first method step, at least one layer of the material is printed in a 3D printing process, in a second method step, multiple similar reinforcing elements are introduced into the layer(s) and the two method steps are cyclically repeated until the component is completed, characterized in that, with the exception of the two bottommost and the topmost layers, each reinforcing element extends over at least three layers, and the reinforcing elements are arranged in strands which extend through all the layers and have, in each layer, at least three reinforcing elements, the lateral distance (A) of these reinforcing elements from each other within a strand being a maximum of five times the largest lateral extent (D) of a reinforcing element.

A process for the formation of highly durable cementitious board using lightweight aggregate is disclosed. The process comprises pouring a core mix onto a conveyor, wherein the core mix is comprised of one or more lightweight aggregate filler in the amount of 0.5 to 5 weight percent of the core mix, one or more binders in the amount of 35 to 75 weight percent of the core mix, rheological admixture in the amount of about 0.5 to 5 weight percent of the core mix, surfactant in the amount of 0 to 0.1 weight percent of the core mix, one or more normal weight aggregate filler in the amount of 5 to 50 weight percent of the core mix, and water in the amount of 5 to 20 weight percent of the core mix. The process further comprises passing the core mix under a screed roller to flatten the core mix to produce an extruding board with a desired thickness.

A composite component for a gas turbine engine is provided, along with its methods of formation. The composite component includes: an additively printed inner portion defining at least one flowpath feature, and a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) outer portion formed on the additively printed inner portion such that the CMC outer portion substantially surrounds the additively printed inner portion. The additively printed inner portion includes SiC; and the CMC outer portion includes a fiber reinforced ceramic matrix (e.g., including SiC) and defines at least one cooling cavity fluidly coupled to the at least one flowpath feature of the additively printed inner portion.
