Fabrication and Properties of Cf/Ti3SiC2-SiC Composites Using Ti3SiC2 as Inert Filler

Article Preview

Abstract:

Because of its combined characteristics of metals and ceramics, such as low density, high Young’s modulus, thermal and chemical resistance with low hardness, high electrical and thermal conductivity, it was expected that the introduction of Ti3SiC2 to fiber reinforced ceramic matrix can make the composite own some unique properties. In the present research, Ti3SiC2 powders used as inert fillers were fabricated by the in-situ reaction between Ti and polycarbosilane mixtures. The purity of Ti3SiC2 powders analyzed by XRD was determined by RIR method, which is a semi-quantitative XRD analysis. The results showed that the purity of Ti3SiC2 powders is about 96%. Cf/Ti3SiC 2-SiC composites are obtained by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis process using Ti3SiC2 powders as the inert fillers. The bending strength of Cf/Ti3SiC2-SiC composites was about 160 MPa.
