Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of SiCf/SiC Composites via Polycarbosilane Pyrolysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Continuous SiC fiber reinforced SiC composites were fabricated by PIP route and their microstructures and mechanical properties were characterized. The density, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the composites were 1.88 g/cm3, 307 MPa and 8.24 MPa⋅m1/2, respectively. The low mechanical properties were ascribed to low density and strong interfacial bonding. The composites exhibited poor oxidation and thermal shock resistance; however, they showed desirable thermal stability.
