Preparation and Properties of 2D C/SiC Composites by CLVD Processing

Abstract:

Chemical liquid-vapor deposition (CLVD) process is a new style of fast densification, which combines the advantages of PIP process and CVI process. 2D C/SiC composites were prepared at 800~1200°C for 3~4 hours with liquid polycarbosilane and carbon fiber cloth by CLVD process with induction heating, and had the density of 1.7 g/cm3, the flexural strength of 84.6MPa, and the flexural modulus of 20GPa. XRD pattern of the sample proved that the matrix was β-SiC. It was found that SiC deposited mainly around single fiber instead of among fiber bundles and layers.
