What is ISO 14544 – Ceramic compression properties about ?
ISO 14544 is an international standard on fine ceramics which covers mechanical properties of ceramic composites at high temperature.
ISO 14544 specifies the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C.
ISO 14544 applies to all ceramic matrix composites with a continuous fibre reinforcement, unidirectional (1D), bidirectional (2D), and tri-directional (xD, with 2 < x ≤ 3), loaded along one principal axis of reinforcement.
Who is ISO 14544 – Ceramic compression properties for ?
ISO 14544 on ceramic compression properties is useful for: 
- Fine ceramics manufacturers
- Mechanical engineers
Why should you use ISO 14544 – Ceramic compression properties ?
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a subgroup of composite materials and a subgroup of ceramics. They consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix. The fibers and the matrix both can consist of any ceramic material, whereby carbon and carbon fibers can also be regarded as a ceramic material.
One of the properties of ceramic matrix composite materials are high tensile and compressive strength, thus no sudden failure as compared to conventional ceramics which makes them unique. ISO 14544 provides you with the conditions for determination of compression properties of ceramic matrix composite materials with continuous fibre reinforcement for temperatures up to 2 000 °C. This can help you increase the safety and reliability in your organization in terms of production.
