Wedding day with acetate
What a beautiful day it is today! I'm currently sat in my newly tended back garden posting this...it's glorious! I was working yesterday morning so couldn't enter the Less Is More challenge any earlier than today unfortunately, and I have also had a fab weekend with my wonderful friends, Hels and Jackie, seeing a brilliant Bryan Adams tribute band, so not much crafting has been done, until this morning! Hels asked me to make a wedding card for her friend's wedding, and as I knew I had the LIM Acetate challenge to do, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do, I did it! 2 birds with one stone! :)
So here is the card, and may I just say how very pleased I am with it!
Papercraft Inspirations this month...there are 5 fab images in this style! I printed it twice in mirror image, cut them out, inserted a piece of organza ribbon through a slit I made in the bride's hair and glue the two images together. I printed the sentiment on the bottom of the A5 card blank, removed the middle section and placed an A5 piece of acetate behind. I then mounted the couple with silicone glue, and added some flowers to the bride's bouquet.
Hels is very pleased with the card and I hope the bride & groom are too!
As well as the LIM challenge, I am entering it into the following challenges.....
Scrapbook Sisters - Wedding/Anniversary
Totally Gorjuss - No patterned paper
Thanks for looking....I'm sure I'll be entering LIM again later in the week! ;)

The original Kawasaki ER-6f was universally acclaimed by MCN's road testers and the revised ER sees the love affair continue. It's a rare package of fun, practicality and affordability, which is great for novices and experienced riders alike. Its sporty, Ninja looks prove budget doesn't have to mean bland, while revisions to the 649cc parallel twin engine have eradicated most of ...
649cc, 72bhp, 130mph, Insurance group 10
The first Kawasaki ER-6n already offered fantastic value for money – fun, practicality and decent looks for £4500. It didn't need a revamp, but for this year it now has a classier more grown up image. The chassis has been tweaked to isolate vibration, and suspension quality was also improved in response to owner comments.

Based on the sports Buell 1125R, the 1125CR is essentially a naked version of the same bike. As it comes it has one-piece handlebars to mimic clip-ons, but the pay-extra upright bars make more sense to ride with – far more comfortable, fits the naked bill. It has the Buell 1125R's full-fat 146bhp engine and, despite its unusual looks, the ...

Not the most stylish kid on the block but, as budget, basic learners go, the Yamaha YBR125 offers pretty good value for money. Gentle, easy going and practical, it'll see you through your test and, if you want, beyond. The Yamaha YBR125 is best as a city ride, there's enough poke to wind you through rush hour traffic and the ...

For a brief, mostly shining few years in the mid-to-late 1990s, legendary Italian marque Laverda (they of the 1970s Jota etc) was back. Trouble was, although the machines' cycle parts were like an Aladdin's cave of goodies, they handled superbly, looked decent and weren't too exotically priced, the twin cylinder engines, though updated, were based on the 500 Montjuic of ...

'Extreme' is a word that's bandied everywhere these days. But when it comes to motorcycling, they don't come much more so than Kawasaki's ZXR400. Small (so popular with the ladeez), light, stumpy, extremely revvy and a fabulous handler, the little ZXR is refined essence of four-cylinder sportster with all the good and bad that implies. It's not big, it's not ...

'Air' on the side of safety and savings
Courtesy of ARA Content
Gas is pretty expensive, so you certainly don't want to waste it. But millions of U.S. drivers waste gas by the gallon every day by driving on under-inflated tires.
Fewer than 8 percent of vehicles have four properly-inflated tires, according to a Rubber Manufacturers Association-sponsored national tire pressure survey. Worse, at least 20 percent of vehicles were found to have at least one tire under-inflated by at least 8 psi.
Driving on under-inflated tires can significantly affect fuel economy and safety. The U.S. Department of Energy says that properly-inflated tires can improve fuel economy by 3.3 percent and help you save 9 cents per gallon at the pump. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates under-inflated tires contribute to more than 600 fatalities and 33,000 injuries a year.
To help keep your car and tires road-worthy, make sure you check your tire pressure (including the spare) at least once a month and before every long trip. Keep tire pressure at the level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Under-inflation creates excessive stresses and heat and may lead to tire failure that could result in vehicle damage and serious injury or death.
Another problem to watch out for is tires and wheels that are out of balance or misaligned, which can cause uneven wear or vehicle problems. Have your alignment checked periodically, and rotate tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help get the most miles from your tires.
Be tire smart—play your "P.A.R.T." That stands for pressure, alignment, rotation and tread, which are the key elements of monthly tire maintenance.
→ Pressure: Check tire pressure monthly before you drive with a tire gauge and inflate to vehicle manufacturer's recommended pressure.
→ Alignment: Misalignment of wheels can cause uneven and rapid tread wear.
→ Rotation: Rotate every 5,000 to 8,000 miles to help you achieve more uniform wear.
→ Tread: Bald tires are dangerous. Insert a penny, head first, into the tread groove. If you see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for a new tire.

Raw posts and updates from our writers with info too timely or uncategorizable for print. What, we said something stupid? Chime in, buddy.
Hey, it's Tax Day! Is that Captain America?
On Election Day, its common to see those who participated in the democratic process sporting an oval-shapped sticker with an American flag declaring "I Voted" Where's the one for "I Filed My Tax Return"? I suppose it is one of the most hated aspects of being a citizen of the union. Like voting, not all Americans participate. But unlike voting, the feds really (really) want you to. Nay, require you.
Along with the filming of The Avengers in Downtown Albuquerque this morning, protesters turned out to participate in the MoveOn.org organized gathering to draw attention to corporate tax shenanigans. With all the film equipment, lighting vans, kraft service carts and security guards, I (for one) mistook the protesters as part of the movie's background. In reality, I was too busy gawking towards the director chair trying to catch a glimpse of the ultimate patriot. I bet Captain America filed his tax return.

Tijuana Sightseeing Tour from San Diego
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Tijuana Sightseeing Tour from San Diego. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
The bike ride to the bridge was great.
Stopping on the bridge breathtaking.
A brilliant day.
This trip was one of our best days in our Usa-holiday, much because of the great busdriver who was very social, kind, informative, and happy. I highly recommend this sightseeing.
Tijuana was fascinating. Our driver Mike made all the difference.
My wife and I had a great time. The driver made the whole tour. We were shown the good side and the bad side and our driver told us not to wear jewelry around our neck. He had a shop owner that he introduced to us. We went into his store and wound up buying a beautiful handbag for my wife. We went around sampling the foods real good. The trip going and coming from Tijuana was interesting, we had to go through customs where they stamped our passports and asked a few questions. All I can say is if you do not go on this tour to Mexico you will miss out on the fun that you can have as well as negotiating about the price of an item. It is fine to go back and forth for the figure of an item you want. Good Luck.
Excellent. We enjoyed the trip
The Tijuana Sightseeing tour from San Diego was great. Our tour guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable and had a passion for what he was doing. There were eight of us on this particular tour and from start to finish, all of us felt safe and knew that we were in good hands in regards to what's happening in Mexico. We shopped and afterwards left with the experience of being in Mexico. As we were leaving the city a guitar player entered the bus and performed four songs for us in Spanish no less. Good times...
Daniel D
Our guide, Greg, was knowledgeable, funny and helpful.
His knowledge and experience assured us this trip would be great; and it was. It was an interesting trip into Tijuana and getting to drive through town a little on the way to our destination was a treat. You are dropped into a very touristy area. Take the time to walk all 10 blocks. The shopping is nice, the food is authentic.
Again, Greg was helpful when it came to leave. He thoroughly explained how customs works. Using this tour was the best way to experience a day trip to Tijuana.
An excellent tour and one of the few tours left going from SD to TJ. The tour guide was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The tour delivers what was promised and then some, but of it's impossible too much in only one afternoon.
it was a nice experience our driver Mike was very nice and drove us around Tijuana
Our guide was excellent, super friendly, helpful and informational. Hats off to the work he does.
Had a good time and the tour guide was really good.
Mike was terrific, funny, entertaining, and helpful.
Nice quick tour but too long at the border to come back.
Great śervicė nice to have smaller bus with only dozen people to go with on day tour guild made you feeĺ çomfortable and safe and explained everthing well.
Good bunch of people to travel with from all over.
Tijuana a eye opèner but awesume experience a must to see and ďo
The tour was fine and a good price- the driver was pretty nice but would have expected him to be a bit better groomed and look more professional

Cozy cabin
What a great cozy cabin in Deep Creek! It was very homey, comfortable and perfect for a weekend get-away. The home is well maintained as is the hot tub on the deck We immediately felt right at home. We will definitely be staying here again in the near future!
Great cabin for an extended family trip.
My extended family had a great weekend in this cabin. There was plenty of room for sleeping and hanging around the house. Although it is close to activities and restaurants, the house feels very secluded in the woods. Sitting around the fire pit and relaxing in the hot tub were our favorite activities. I would recommend this house to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Deep Creek area.
Relaxing Getaway
Thank you for the weekend in the cabin, we really enjoyed the cozy accommodations. The bathroom, kitchen and bedroom loft all just the right size for a family of four. We are used to camping and know how to make the most out of a small area and are also thankful to have access to outdoors area. Our two (small) dogs thoroughly enjoyed frolicking in the yard after a long car ride. They were sad to be back in their apartment here in the city and keep asking to go back to the spacious yard. I like the deck off the back, it is a nice retreat onto itself, escaping the activities that were going on inside. I could unplug from the TV and electronics and listen to the babbling brook and horses in the distance, and with the surrounding fields and rural setting it was a relaxing change from city life. This trip, we did not explore any of the local scene (Middletown), but will definitely come back. After visiting Gettysburg, we drove into Annapolis on Saturday, and Washington DC on Sunday, so this location fit into our plans great. We did not use the wood stove, but did use the fireplace both nights mostly for ambiance as the daytime temperatures where in the 60s, and the loft area where we slept, stayed warm during our stay. If there are any cons, I would say after our weekend we all had a smell of campfire. The stairs to the loft has the pitch of a "ships ladder" and is a steep. But overall there is enough space that we were not on top of each other (four of us) and the surrounding countryside is very beautiful. The owners are very accommodating, and we will return.

Singapore is a very inviting country with low crime rates, good schools, great healthcare and tasty food. The country in whole is a fun happy place to live. With beautiful cities full of greenery and such high standards for safety, it is really tempting to pack up and move to Singapore as most people do each year.
Yet that all comes at a price as living in Singapore can prove to be very expensive, finding a home close to the city can be very costly as it is in such high demand. Luckily the country has an amazing transport system which works very well, getting to and from different parts, is quick and easy with plenty of train lines to travel by. But not all forms of travel are excellent; owning a car in Singapore is extremely expensive, for example maintaining your car's transmission can end up costing you double to what you would usually pay in the United States.
To keep your car maintained you will have to go through some heftily priced taxes, things such as ERP, road tax, parking fees and then expensive petrol along with servicing can take up a big portion of your monthly payments. Almost making owning a car too expensive to be worth it. It all comes down and depends on what car you want, and how often you use it, but everything you will be paying, all together in general can come to $1000 and in worse cases could possibly be a lot higher around the $3000 mark. It all depends on what car you drive, and how often you use it, buying a car in Singapore should be properly planned and thought out before taking that step simply for how much it will cost you a month.
Once past the high price of maintaining your car in Singapore, you can rest assured that your car is safe, due to the very low crime rates that Singapore has, with such strict rules and penalties crime is at an all-time low. That does not mean you can go about your day leaving your car doors unlocked, but you can rest assured whilst leaving your car out on the streets that the chances of it being stolen or vandalized are extremely slim with how little crime there is in Singapore.
As for driving in Singapore the traffic flow is smooth with little to no trouble traveling through the city, besides the occasional road works, or traffic accidents that will always cause traffic jams in any country. Everything works out well with a vast amount of people preferring the public transport due to high car costs, the roads run fluently with little to no problems; you will almost always arrive to your destination on time from traveling by car.
Owning a car in Singapore has good and bad points, the bad points clearly being the high cost of maintaining your car. Yet, if you can afford that cost then it is definitely worth it as the country is such a safe and secure place to drive you will feel relieved not having to chase after buses or trains on the way to work.

Top Seeds Sa-Soares Upset In Vina QFs
Doubles 2012
by ATP Staff|
The new tandem of Santiago Giraldo and Maximo Gonzalez upset top-seeded Brazilians Andre Sa and Bruno Soares 6-4, 6-4 on Friday to secure their place in the VTR Open semi-finals.
Soares had won the doubles title at this ATP World Tour 250 tournament last year with another countryman, Marcelo Melo. He was playing with Sa for the first time in tour-level main draw action, though the pair won three hard-court Challenger titles during the 2004-05 season.
Another new pairing, Joao Souza and Horacio Zeballos, also scored an upset in their quarter-final match, knocking out No. 2 seeds Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah 7-6(6), 2-6, 10-7 in one hour and 28 minutes.
At the Open Sud de France in Montpellier, third seeds Paul Hanley and Jamie Murray reached the final with a 6-3, 3-6, 10-5 victory over Dustin Brown and Lovro Zovko. Hanley and Murray joined forces at the start of the 2012 season, after previously teaming together for a pair of Challenger events in 2009.

Welcome to Texas y'all!! They say everything is bigger and better in Texas....and so it is....even the rain. It rained pretty much non stop after we crossed the border.

The very first line of Next Life Might Be Kinder, by Howard Norman, is this: "After my wife, Elizabeth Church, was murdered by the bellman Alfonse Padgett in the Essex Hotel, she did not leave me."
When the protagonist tells us his dead wife shows up on the beach every night and talks to him, is he being an unreliable narrator, or having a nervous breakdown, or is he…coping with the unendurable in a way people have done for eons?
Norman's new novel is witty and intelligently nuanced. I enjoyed the narrator's counseling sessions, his recalled conversations with his wife, the unusual combining of pragmatics and that hint of the supernatural.
I heard Howard Norman describe his creative process when he spoke at Dutton's Brentwood Bookstore (now defunct) in 1998. Here's how I wrote about that discussion in Writing in Flow:
"Howard Norman, whose earlier novels The Northern Lights and The Bird Artist were both National Book Award finalists, explained how The Museum Guard reached its pared-down and uncluttered form. In early drafts, Norman typed literally hundreds of pages describing every detail of a cemetery of which, in the finished book, we only see brief glimpses. Nearly all of that description was revised out of existence when he took active control of the novel. Not only that, but once the typed version of one of his novels feels complete, he then re-writes the entire manuscript by hand to get a fuller sense of control over style and voice."

Paul Giamatti stars as a struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach who takes in his client's troubled grandson
On Film4: 2 Dec 1:45AM
Two high school nerds use their computer to create the perfect woman. Teen comedy from John Hughes starring brat packer Anthony Michael Hall and Kelly LeBrock
How do you follow up an angsty teen comedy like The Breakfast Club? In John Hughes' case, by bashing out another teen comedy, only this time, with a brace of horny young Frankensteins in place of all the alienation. Lacking the sensitivity and intelligence of Hughes' best films ( Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles), Weird Science is an odd mix of risqué shenanigans, puerile pranks and dubious gender politics. It also happens to be very funny.
The laughing stock of their school, Garry (Anthony Michael Hall) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are home one night watching Bride Of Frankenstein when they hit upon the idea of making their own woman. Naturally, they try and do so via Wyatt's computer, and it's not long before they're taking a shower with Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a total babe who turns out to be a whiz in the kitchen and great at taking care of all the boys' problems. For the first time in their lives, Gary and Wyatt feel like regular guys. But then they get cocky and attempt to create a second dream girl, a mistake that results in Wyatt's home playing host to a nuclear missile.
With its broad comedy and bare flesh, Weird Science is far more geared to a male audience than other Hughes pictures. Indeed, you have to wonder how healthy it is to suggest that young men want nothing more from women than a great body, excellent culinary skills and a willingness to pander to their every whim. That said, come the end of the movie, there is at least some suggestion of what constitutes a healthy relationship as Lisa imparts the boys some valuable life lessons beyond the sack and kitchen. Regardless of whether or not it's politically correct, British-raised brunette Kelly LeBrock is a more interesting approximation of the perfect woman than the traditional blonde Hollywood bimbo. She plays the role with a wonderful knowing streak and is spectacularly camp to boot.
LeBrock's not the only notable casting either. While hiring Anthony Michael Hall to play a dork isn't particularly imaginative, it's fun to see him share screen time with the young Robert Downey Jr. The real coup, however, is a fantastically unpleasant performance from Bill Paxton as Wyatt's obnoxious elder brother Chet.
Weird Science also benefits from Hughes' movie awareness. Not that including clips from James Whale's Frankenstein sequel in a film about manufacturing females is a particularly inspired move. But when it comes to having Wyatt's house invaded by mutant bikers, Hughes plays a masterstroke by ensuring the gatecrashers include Mad Max 2's Vernon Wells and the original The Hills Have Eyes' Michael Berryman. With neat references like that, you can almost forgive the writer-director his juvenile excesses.
It's not Hughes' best work, but Weird Science is a fun fantasy complete with notable performances and memorable cameos.

Tucked away in a recent New York Times story on military operations against ISIS by Iraqi special forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga was a brief description of what these troops discovered when they entered a village in Iraq that had been occupied by ISIS fighters. A naked woman, tied to a tree, who had been repeatedly raped by ISIS fighters. Another woman was discovered in a second village, similarly naked, tied down and repeatedly raped. The fighters, it appears, are "rewarded" by being allowed to have their way with captured women.
Opportunity Costs: Evidence Suggests Variability, Not Scarcity, Primary Driver of Water Conflict›Guest Contributor // September 2, 2014 // By Cullen Hendrix
Nearly 1 billion people lack reliable access to clean drinking water today. A report by the Water Resources Group projects that by 2030 annual global freshwater needs will reach 6.9 trillion cubic meters – 64 percent more than the existing accessible, reliable, and sustainable supply. This forecast, while alarming, likely understates the magnitude of tomorrow's water challenge, as it does not account for the impacts of climate change.

Yes I am aware that it takes up two slots on the back of the case, not on the motherboard
by 2 slot card they mean to say it takes up 2 pcie slots at the back of the case.. not on the motherboard.. just letting you know if your unaware of that?
1 slot for ventilation and one for the output ports like VGA.
Well I want to play those games but if something in the future comes out (Bioshock Infinte comes to mind) I want to be able to play it too. I have no problem either playing at medium-medium high. I mean if I buy a new card, I rather not have to play at low for 2012-mid 2013 games....I want it to last for a while at least
anyway if you want to just play those titles and have no interest in high fps's or maybe fps gaming, anything gtx 550ti 560ti 650 660 is for you.. u can probably pick up the 550ti for alot less now and it should play all the games you mentioned on medium or low on that resolution.
if you want a AMD here is one 6850, this card is the best value for money i have heard and my friend uses it.. he plays all the latest games on 720p which is about the same resolution as of you and he has no lags or frame skips.
hope that helps.

OK, I guess it makes sense
The reason someone will ask for the rest of your system specs is an issue referred to as a bottleneck.
This issue occurs when specific components are less powerful than others. So let us say you buy this new card, but you have a lower end CPU. In that case then you will wind up with lower performance still.
So the question is asked to help make sure that a faster GPU will actually matter.
Make sense?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:40
No, I can turn it up a lo t more its just the optimal resolution for my monitor. I doubt my CPU is a bottleneck for higher resolutions
Also playing at 1024x768 does not make sense with newer systems. The reason being that you are often limited by the CPU at that resolution.

The conversion of carbon-carbon of a composite material at the surface to licon carbide-hybridized carbon-carbon in accordance with the method of invention is accomplished by reacting the carbon fibers and matrix with silicon monooxide at elevated temperature from about 1500°-1700° C. The conversion of bulk graphite or carbon-carbon composite materials is achieved in 30-60 minutes at 1700° C. With conversion the density is increased from the density of carbon of 1.45 grams/cc to that of silicon carbide of 3.21 grams/cc. The method of reaction in the vapor phase of silicon monooxide with the carbon-carbon bond releases a C atom in exchange for the Si atom with a release of CO from the composite material. Photomicrographic studies indicates a depth of conversion from about 50 to 100 mils. The reaction rate of silicon monooxide increases with increased temperature; therefore, to avoid too rapid a release of the by-product carbon monooxide which might damage the composite material in its escape, the reaction temperature should not exceed 1700° C.
1. A method of differential conversion of an exposed outer surface of a carbon-carbon composite material into a silicon carbide-hybridized carbon-carbon to provide a dense and chemically-resistant outer surface, said method comprising:
(i) providing a carbon-carbon composite material with an exposed outer surface for said conversion, said carbon-carbon composite material selected from the group consisting of graphite carbon fiber-carbon matrix material, carbon fiber-carbon matrix material, and carbon-carbon matrix material;
(ii) providing silicon monoxide vapor prepared by the chemical reaction as follows: Si (liquid)+SiO2 (gaseous)→2 SiO (vapor), said silicon monoxide vapor having a concentration;
(iii) exposing said carbon-carbon composite material to said silicon monoxide vapor in a reaction chamber at a temperature from about 1500° C. to about 1700° C. and a time period from about 30 to about 60 minutes to infiltrate said silicon monoxide into said carbon-carbon composite material wherein said infiltration occurs by the following reaction: 2SiO (vapor)+2C (solid)→SiC (solid)+CO (gaseous) to thereby achieve differential conversion with a conversion depth from about 50 to 100 mils, said conversion depth for said carbon-carbon composite material controlled by the concentration of silicon monoxide vapor;
(iv) purging said reaction chamber of by-products of reaction and of any unreacted silicon monoxide;
(v) cooling said carbon-carbon composite material; and
(vi) removing said carbon-carbon composite material.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said differential conversion increases the density of said exposed surface of the carbon-carbon composite material from 1.45 g/cc 3.21 g/cc.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein said carbon-carbon composite material is a graphite fiber-carbon matrix material which has a higher percentage of graphitic carbon fibers at the surface, said graphitic carbon fibers having a transverse fiber orientation.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein said temperature is about 1700 ° C.
The invention described herein may be manufactured, used, and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to me of any royalties thereon.
This is a application continuation, of application Ser. No. 07/941,818, filed Sep. 8, 1992, now abandoned.
In obtaining thrust from a rocket motor, the constricted section of the exhaust nozzle or throat section is designed to provide a predetermined exhaust gas flow rate at a defined combustion chamber pressure. After the exhaust gases exit the throat section, the gases are expanded through an expansion exit cone to provide thrust based on the total rocket motor design. The throat area and the other sections of the exhaust nozzle must be able to withstand the high temperatures of the exhaust gases; otherwise, erosion by the hot exhaust gases, particularly in the throat area, will cause change in the combustion chamber pressure and burning rate and the total thrust delivered.
State-of-the-art materials which have been used in nozzle throat fabrication are; carbon-phenolic composites, carbon-carbon composites, bulk graphite, pyrolytic graphite, etc. Generic carbon-carbon composites perform well when exposed to motor exhaust gases which are at low flame combustion temperatures, but are not adequate in a high flame temperature environment. The reason is that above 2000° C. temperature environment carbon reacts with the water and carbon dioxide which are present in the exhaust gases. The rate of these reactions increases as the temperature increases.
To reduce the erosion as a result of this chemical reaction, the state-of-the-art nozzle throats have been designed to have nozzle throats of very high temperature erosion-resistant metals, such as, rhenium, hafnium, tungsten, zirconium as coating materials. These have serious limitations, such as, nuclear sensitivity, brittleness, cracking, and flaking off.
A need exists for changing the surface of the carbon-carbon composite material of the nozzle throat area to enable it to withstand higher temperatures while retaining the desirable features of a carbon-carbon substrate backup material of the nozzle.
An object of this invention is to provide a method for converting the near surface of the carbon-carbon composite material at the surface of the interceptor nozzle throat to be more heat resistant.
A further object of this invention is to provide a method of manufacture for surface conversion of a carbon-carbon composite nozzle material to an erosion resistant surface.
Still a further object of this invention is to provide a method for the conversion of bulk graphite to a more heat resistant form to a more chemical-resistant form which is less subject to erosion in a rocket nozzle throat environment.
The conversion of carbon-carbon of a composite material with an exposed outer surface for conversion into silicon carbide-hybridized carbon-carbon in accordance with the invention is accomplished by reacting the carbon fibers and matrix with silicon monoxide at elevated temperatures. The silicon monoxide is produced by the reaction of liquid silicon with gaseous silicon dioxide. The silicon monoxide then reacts with carbon in the exposed outer surface to form solid silicon carbide and carbon monoxide. Total conversion of bulk graphite or carbon-carbon composite materials is accomplished in 30-60 minutes at 1700° C. At lower temperatures, for example at 1500° C., graphite was found to resist conversion, but carbon would undergo conversion.
The method is effective for the conversion of the surface and the near surface of the carbon-carbon composite material of the interceptor nozzle throat into silicon carbide. Because of the higher chemical and thermal resistance of silicon 5 carbide, a higher density, more chemically-resistant surface is formed on the nozzle throat while the substrate backup material remains unaffected and continues to remain as carbon-carbon composite. This substrate carbon-carbon backup material provides the structural support and is of lower density, which is a very desirable characteristic. To carry out the conversion of carbon to silicon carbide, the carbon has to be infiltrated by the silicon monoxide. When this reaction occurs, carbon atoms are exchanged for silicon atoms, and the reaction proceeds until silicon carbide is formed in stoichiometric amounts. With conversion, the density is increased from the density of carbon of 1.45 g/cc to that of silicon carbide of 3.21 g/cc.
The chemical reactions which are involved in the conversion method described above are summarized below as follows: 1. Si (liquid)+SiO2 (gaseous)→2SiO (vapor) 2. 2SiO (vapor)+2C (solid)→SiC (solid)+C0 (gaseous).
FIG. 1 depicts the microstructure and composite unit cell Scanning Electron Micrograph of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 100× to show SiC--SiC (converted white layer) and C--C (unconverted black layer).
FIGS. 2 and 3 depict the microstructure and composite unit cell Scanning Electron Micrographs of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 500× to show transverse and longitudinal SiC fibers and transverse and longitudinal carbon.
FIGS. 4 and 5 depict the microstructural views of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 500×.
FIGS. 6,7 8, and 9 depict the microstructural view of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 2000× to show conversion fronts (low and high selectivity).
FIGS. 10, 11, 12, and 13 depict the conversion front microstructure in fiber (transverse and longitudinal) orientations magnified 10,000×.
The conversion of carbon-carbon of composite material at the near surface (e.g., 50 to 100 mils in depth) to silicon carbide-hybridized carbon-carbon is achieved by reacting fibers and matrix of composite material at elevated temperatures from about 1500° C. to about 1700° C. with silicon monoxide vapor to change the C--C to silicon carbide-hybridized carbon-carbon. With this conversion, the density is increased from the density of carbon of 1.45 grams/cc to that of silicon carbide of 3.2 grams/cc. In carrying out the conversion of carbon to silicon carbide, the carbon has to be infiltrated by the silicon monoxide, but the by-product, carbon dioxide, which is produced, must diffuse out of the substrate at not too rapid a rate. If it is allowed to diffuse out at too rapid a rate, this could result in structural damage. To effectively control the conversion of carbon to silicon carbide, the temperature should be not over 1700° C., otherwise, the rate of carbon dioxide production tends to exceed the safe diffusion rate out of the substrate.
Since carbon-carbon composite materials contain several different types of carbon compounds, there is a degree of selectivity as to the extent of the conversion reaction to the silicon carbide that is formed. The greater the graphite content is in the carbon-carbon composite, the fewer are the carbon atoms that are located at the edge of the graphite planes in the carbon crystallites. As a result, a lesser chemical reaction occurs with the graphitic carbon sites.
The Figures of the Drawing depict changes of conversion at the near surface of a composite structure. For convenience in reviewing Scanning Electron Micrographs in FIGS. 1-12 relative distances are represented at various magnifications of 100×, 500×, 2000× and 10,000× to permit a viewer a proper perspective of the micrographs. For example, FIG. 1 is 100× and the depicted distance is 100 micrometers or 100 microns. Relative distances of FIGS. 2-5 are 10 micrometers, respectively. Relative distances of FIGS. 6-9 are 10 micrometers, respectively. Relative distances of FIGS. 10-12 are 1 micrometer, respectively. The surface layer of the hybrid composite as examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (with and without backscatter) at different levels of magnifications (100×, FIG. 1 and 500×, FIGS. 2 and 3), reveals evidence of the type of conversion, seen by the deep, irregular penetration of the silicon monoxide along the conversion surface. The overall surface microstructure of the silicon carbide-silicon carbide layer is shown in FIG. 1. Here evidence of the deep, irregular penetration of the silicon can be observed. Thus, any cracks which exist in the carbon-carbon composite structure lend themselves to being readily converted into silicon carbide.
At 500× magnification, as shown in FIG. 2, the region of conversion to silicon carbide, the transverse and longitudinal fibers become readily visible.
FIG. 3 depicts microstructural views of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 500×. Also additional examination of FIG. 3 points out that the extent of the transition going from carbon (which is black in color) and silicon carbide (which is white in color) is considerably less than 0.5 micrometers.
Microstructural views of silicon carbide-silicon carbide/carbon-carbon composite material magnified 500× are depicted in FIGS. 4 and 5.
Examination at 2000×, as seen in FIGS. 6 and 8, for the conversion of the carbon fiber and matrix into a composite structure, composed of silicon carbide, can be seen with even greater clarity. FIG. 7 depicts the front with low selectivity, while FIG. 9 depicts the conversion front with high selectivity.
In the case of carbon-carbon composite materials which contain a higher percentage of graphitic carbon at the surface than in the fiber core, a highly selective carbon conversion to silicon carbide occurs in the transverse fiber orientation. Comparison of the views, shown in FIGS. 10-13 magnified 10,000×, show that the silicon monoxide vapor had diffused around the graphite carbon fibers, and, thereby, resulting in converting the matrix into silicon carbide before the conversion of the fiber. The differential selective conversion resulted in a silicon carbide-silicon carbide layer that was well anchored to the underlying carbon-carbon composite because the converted layer was found to be difficult to remove.
Since no microcracking was observable at the interface of the conversion front, the selective nature of the conversion reaction could be used to form highly erosion-resistant materials, such as, graphite fiber-silicon carbide matrix composite materials from graphite fiber-carbon matrix composite materials.
Since the graphite fiber and the silicon carbide matrix are both erosion-resistant, the graphite fiber in the composite structure can be so oriented to conduct heat away from the eroding surface, thereby lowering the temperature of the eroding surface, and enhance the erosion-resistant characteristics of the composite structure.
The conversion reaction is accomplished in a reaction chamber provided with means for closely controlling the reaction temperature from about 1500° C. to 1700° C. where exposure of the carbon-carbon composite material with silicon monoxide converts the carbon to silicon carbide with the release of carbon monoxide from the near surface area during a conversion of the composite material. A continuous reaction can be achieved by controlling a movable belt through a reaction chamber to provide the desired exposure time with reactant silicon monoxide.
The depth of conversion of the near surface of a carbon-carbon composite material for the nozzle throat area of a rocket nozzle ranged from about 50 mils to about 100 mils. This depth of conversion is achieved in a reaction time period from about 30 to 60 minutes at 1700° C. After reaction time is completed, the reaction chamber is purged to remove by-products and unreacted reactant, silicon monoxide. For a continuous operation the reactant, silicon monoxide, concentration can be adjusted by monitoring the vapor phase concentration of reactant in a transit zone for reaction at the predetermined time to achieve the desired depth of carbon-carbon to silicon carbide conversion.
The method of this invention is particularly attractive for converting the throat section and outer surface area of interceptor rocket motor nozzles which are subjected to high temperature and exhaust gases which cause erosion in conventional nozzle areas which have not been subjected to conversion method.
Potential, most promising commercial application for the hybrid material is in the manufacture of automobile engine pistons because it offers the following advantages over aluminum pistons: the lesser thermal expansion of the hybrid materials would allow for a tighter fit in the cylinder bore; a tighter fit would reduce the amount of noise or piston slap the engine makes following a cold start; less piston-to-cylinder-wall clearance would, also, prevent rings from twisting in the ring grooves resulting in minimal ring wear; reduced ring wear would increase engine life because cylinder compression pressures would remain higher for a longer time; and when rings do their job effectively, the cylinders create less blow-by gases, thereby lowering emission levels.
