Abstract

A fiber reinforced glass matrix composite article and a process for fabricating a fiber reinforced glass matrix composite article are disclosed. The article has an outer layer with selectively oriented continuous fiber reinforcement and an inner core having randomly oriented discontinuous fiber reinforcement. The process utilizes the hydrostatic pressure provided by injection molding of the discontinuous fiber reinforced core to fully consolidate the continuous fiber reinforced outer layer.
