Abstract

A laminated ceramic matrix composite structure is strengthened with one or more layers of a metal reinforcement. The metal reinforcement is selected to provide optimal strength and thermal compatibility with the ceramic matrix composite. The metal reinforcement includes an outer oxidized layer that bonds to the ceramic matrix composite. It may also include a barrier layer on the surface of the metal that helps prevent further oxidation. The structure is formed using standard composite prepreg layup techniques.
