Honeycomb Sandwich Structure of Cf/SiC Ceramic Matrix Composites Prepared by PIP-CVI

Article Preview

Abstract:

continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (Cf/SiC) ceramic matrix composites were prepared by precursor infiltration pyrolysis and chemical vapor infiltration (PIP-CVI process), in which the honeycomb sandwich structure preforms were fabricated by the three dimensional braid method. In this paper, the microstructure and the bending strength were observed and analyzed by SEM and three point bending method. The results of the study show that: The Cf/SiC ceramic matrix composites, which were lightweight and high strength, were prepared by that technique. The composite samples have a fiber volume fraction of 20%, a density of 0.38 g/cm3 and a flexural strength of 3.81 MPa. The honeycomb sandwich fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composite with a light weight, corrosion resistance and excellent physical and mechanical properties is a kind of structure and functional ceramic materials, which can realize the structure and the requirement of heat integration.
