Scientists at the U Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have expanded a unique glue that should, for the first time, allow aerospace manufacturers join parts made of silicon-carbide composites. This progression in a continuously ascending gradation may lead to the replacement of blade and superalloys with these ceramic materials. Silicon-carbide composites can withstand higher temperatures and are les susceptible to corrosion than falchion or superalloys. The composites are made of silicon-carbide fibers woven together and encased in a silicon-carbide matrix. Until now, manufacturers couldn't use the
