化学结合陶瓷（CBC）模具材料是室温浇注无机系统，具有可控CTE、高温性能、真空完整性和易成型性的独特组合。回顾了这些材料在生产中的使用，以及用于先进复合材料的250华氏度到800华氏度的叠层模具，以及最近开发的性能改进。介绍了用于原型高压和高温压缩、注射和转移模具的匹配模具CBC模具的示例，包括使用金属表面层的系统，该系统大大提高了成型表面的耐磨性和耐久性。 最后，对可用于在高达1800华氏度的温度下形成金属和玻璃基复合材料的超高温CBC模具系统进行了研究。

CHEMICALLY BONDED CERAMIC (CBC) TOOLING MATERIALS ARE ROOM TEMPERATURE CASTABLE INORGANIC SYSTEMS THAT OFFER A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF CONTROLLED CTE, HIGH- TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE, VACUUM INTEGRITY, AND EASY FORMABILITY. THE USE OF THESE MATERIALS IN PRODUCTION, 250 DEGREES F TO 800 DEGREES F LAY-UP DIE TOOLING FOR ADVANCED COMPOSITES IS REVIEWED ALONG WITH RECENTLY DEVELOPED PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS. EXAMPLES OF MATCHED DIE CBC TOOLING FOR PROTOTYPE HIGH-PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE COMPRESSION, INJECTION AND TRANSFER MOLDS IS PRESENTED, INCLUDING A SYSTEM WHICH USES A METAL SURFACE LAYER WHICH GREATLY IMPROVES THE ABRASION RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY OF THE MOLDING SURFACE. FINALLY, VERY HIGH-TEMPERATURE CBC TOOLING SYSTEMS, WHICH CAN BE USED TO FORM METAL AND GLASS MATRIX COMPOSITES AT TEMPERATURES UP TO 1800 DEGREES F IS EXAMINED.
