Effect of pyrolysis temperature on the mechanical evolution of SiCf/SiC composites fabricated by PIP
《Ceramics International》2020,46(2):1297-1306
Three types of SiCf/SiC composites with a four-step three-dimensional SiC fibre preform and pyrocarbon interface fabricated via precursor infiltration and pyrolysis at 1100 °C, 1300 °C, and 1500 °C were heat-treated at 1300 °C under argon atmosphere for 50 h. The effects of the pyrolysis temperature on the microstructural and mechanical properties of the SiCf/SiC composites were studied. With an increase in the pyrolysis temperature, the SiC crystallite size of the as-fabricated composites increased from 3.4 to 6.4 nm, and the flexural strength decreased from 742 ± 45 to 467 ± 38 MPa. After heat treatment, all the samples exhibited lower mechanical properties, accompanied by grain growth, mass loss, and the formation of open pores. The degree of mechanical degradation decreased with an increase in the pyrolysis temperature. The composites fabricated at 1500 °C exhibited the highest property retention rates with 90% flexural strength and 98% flexural modulus retained. The mechanism of the mechanical evolution after heat treatment was revealed, which suggested that the thermal stability of the mechanical properties is enhanced by the high crystallinity of the SiC matrix after pyrolysis at higher temperatures. 相似文献

Silicon carbide fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiCf/SiC CMCs) based on a domestic KD-SA SiC fiber were exposed to a wet oxygen atmosphere for 135 h at 800, 1100, and 1300°C. The evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC CMCs have been systematically investigated following oxidation. For weight change, CMC-1300 showed the greatest gain (0.394%), followed by CMC-1100 (0.356%) and CMC-800 (0.149%). The volatilization of boron oxide (B2O3) combined with the slight oxidation of the SiC matrix at 800°C caused crack deflection and fiber pull-out. The complete dissipation of the interphase could be found when the oxidation temperature increases to 1100°C, generated a fracture surface with brittle fracture characteristics. At 1300°C, crystalline SiO2 hindered oxygen diffusion, with evidence of fiber pull-out. Based on thermodynamic calculations and microscopic observations, we propose a mechanism to explain the thermal degradation of SiCf/SiC CMCs. This work offers valuable guidance for the fabrication of SiCf/SiC CMCs that are suitable for high-temperature applications. 相似文献

Electrospun unidirectional SiC fibers reinforced SiCf/SiC composites (e-SiCf/SiC) were prepared with ∼10% volume fraction by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. Pyrolysis temperature was varied to investigate the changes in microstructures, mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties of e-SiCf/SiC composites. The composites prepared at 1100 °C exhibit the highest flexural strength of 286.0 ± 33.9 MPa, then reduced at 1300 °C, mainly due to the degradation of electrospun SiC fibers, increased porosity, and reaction-controlled interfacial bonding. The thermal conductivity of e-SiCf/SiC prepared at 1300 °C reached 2.663 W/(m∙K). The dielectric properties of e-SiCf/SiC composites were also investigated and the complex permittivities increase with raising pyrolysis temperature. The e-SiCf/SiC composites prepared at 1300 °C exhibited EMI shielding effectiveness exceeding 24 dB over the whole X band. The electrospun SiC fibers reinforced SiCf/SiC composites can serve as a potential material for structural components and EMI shielding applications in the future. 相似文献

Continuous silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites have promising applications in aero-engine due to their unique advantages, such as low density, high modulus and strength, outstanding high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance. As SiC fibers are main reinforcements in SiCf/SiC composites, the crystallization rate and initial damage degree of SiC fibers are seriously influenced by preparation temperatures of SiCf/SiC composites, namely mechanical properties of SiC fibers and SiCf/SiC composites are influenced by preparation temperatures. In this paper, KD-II SiC fibers were woven into 3D4d preforms and SiC matrix was fabricated by PIP process at 1100 °C, 1200 °C, 1400 °C and 1600 °C. Digital image correlation (DIC) method was adopted to measure the uniaxial tensile properties of these SiCf/SiC composites. In addition, finite element method (FEM) based on representative volume element (RVE) was adopted to predict the mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC composites. The good agreements between numerical results and experimental results of uniaxial tensile tests verified the validity of the RVE. In last, the transverse tensile, transverse shear, uniaxial shear properties were predicted by this method. The predicted results illustrated that axial tensile, transverse tensile and axial shear properties were greatly influenced by the preparation temperatures of SiCf/SiC composites while transverse shear properties were not significantly various. And the mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC composites peaked at 1200 °C among these four temperatures while their values reached their lowest points at 1600 °C because of thermal damage and brittle failure of SiCf/SiC composites. 相似文献

In order to improve the thermal conductivity and full-fill the gaps between the fiber bundles for three-dimensional four-directional (3D4d) braided SiCf/SiC composites, 500?nm submicron-sized β-SiC particles were introduced into the 3D4d preform by an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. ζ-potential of the KD-Ⅱ SiC fibers and the aqueous suspension of the β-SiC particles were analyzed, as well as the efficiency of the deposition. After densified via PIP process, microstructure, three-point bending strength and thermal conductivity of the composite were investigated. The results showed that, SiC particles filled the gaps between the SiC fiber bundles efficiently, and thermal conductivity of the composites fabricated through PIP process assisted by EPD was 2.3 times that of the composites fabricated via PIP only. The bending strength of the EPD-composites was 647.08?±?69.53?MPa, which decreased to 2/3 of that of the composites manufactured only by PIP, owing to the reduction of fiber volume fraction and the damages to the interface coatings and fibers under the action of the electric field. 相似文献

Polycarbosilane (PCS)/polysilazane (PSZ) preceramic mixtures with weight ratios of 100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, and 0/100 were used as a filler for the joining of SiCf/SiC to obtain high purity SiC at the joining region. SiCf/SiC was fabricated by the electrophoretic infiltration of a SiC-based matrix phase into Tyranno SA3 SiC fabrics followed by hot-pressing at 1750?°C under 20?MPa for 2?h in an Ar atmosphere. Microstructural analysis confirmed a sound join without cracks after joining at 1750?°C for 2?h under a pressure of 10?MPa. SiC was the only phase remaining at the joint when PCS was used, while a small amount of Si3N4 along with the main SiC were observed in the join using PSZ. The flexural strengths of the butt-joint SiCf/SiC were 120 and 137?MPa for the samples joined using a pure PCS and PSZ at 1750?°C, respectively, whereas those joined using the mixture fillers showed relatively lower strength. 相似文献

The SiC fibers were coated with Ti3SiC2 interphase by dip-coating. The Ti3SiC2 coated fibers were heat-treated from 900 °C to 1100 °C in vacuum and argon atmospheres to comparatively analyze the effect of temperature and atmosphere on the microstructural evolution and mechanical strength of the fibers. The results show that the surface morphology of Ti3SiC2 coating is rough in vacuum and Ti3SiC2 is decomposed at 1100 °C. However, in argon atmosphere, the surface morphology is smooth and Ti3SiC2 is oxidized at 1000 °C and 1100 °C. At 1100 °C, Ti3SiC2 oxidized to form a thin layer of amorphous SiO2 embedded with TiO2 grains. Meanwhile, defects and pores appeared in the interphase scale. As a result, the fiber strength treated in the argon was lower than that treated in vacuum. The porous Ti3SiC2 interphase fabricated under vacuum was then employed to prepare the SiCf/SiC mini composite by chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) combined with precursor infiltration pyrolysis (PIP), and can effectively improve the toughness of SiCf/SiC mini composite. The propagating cracks can be deflected within the porous interphase layer, which promotes fiber pull-outs under the tensile strength. 相似文献

SiCf/PyC/SiC and SiCf/BN/SiC mini-composites comprising single tow SiC fibre-reinforced SiC with chemical vapor deposited PyC or BN interface layers are fabricated. The microstructure evolutions of the mini-composite samples as the oxidation temperature increases (oxidation at 1000, 1200, 1400, and 1600?°C in air for 2?h) are observed by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, and X-ray diffraction characterization methods. The damage evolution for each component of the as-fabricated SiCf/SiC composites (SiC fibre, PyC/BN interface, SiC matrix, and mesophase) is mapped as a three-dimensional (3D) image and quantified with X-ray computed tomography. The mechanical performance of the composites is investigated via tensile tests.The results reveal that tensile failure occurs after the delamination and fibre pull-out in the SiCf/PyC/SiC composites due to the volatilization of the PyC interface at high temperatures in the air environment. Meanwhile, the gaps between the fibres and matrix lead to rapid oxidation and crack propagation from the SiC matrix to SiC fibre, resulting in the failure of the SiCf/PyC/SiC composites as the oxidation temperature increases to 1600?°C. On the other hand, the oxidation products of B2O3 molten compounds (reacted from the BN interface) fill up the fracture, cracks, and voids in the SiC matrix, providing excellent strength retention at elevated oxidation temperatures. Moreover, under the protection of B2O3, the SiCf/BN/SiC mini-composites show a nearly intact microstructure of the SiC fibre, a low void growth rate from the matrix to fibre, and inhibition of new void formation and the SiO2 grain growth from room to high temperatures. This work provides guidance for predicting the service life of SiCf/PyC/SiC and SiCf/BN/SiC composite materials, and is fundamental for establishing multiscale damage models on a local scale. 相似文献

A SiC fiber-reinforced composite containing a SiC-ZrB2 mixed matrix (SiCf/(SiC-ZrB2)) with high density and enhanced mechanical properties was fabricated. ZrB2 at 5 or 40?vol% was added to a (SiC + C) slurry to be infiltrated into the voids of 2D woven Tyranno?-SA grade-3 fabrics by electrophoretic deposition. Subsequent hot pressing at 1300?°C and 10?MPa for 1?h, followed by liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) at 1600?°C for 5?h in an Ar atmosphere resulted in the formation of the reaction-bonded SiC matrix, which revealed a composite density close to 97%. SiCf/(SiC-ZrB2) having open porosities of 0.2–0.6% showed peak strengths of 398 and 320?MPa for 5 and 40?vol% ZrB2 addition, respectively. The large mismatch in the coefficient of thermal expansion and Young's modulus between the SiC and ZrB2 phases was attributed to a reverse trend in the strength of composites. Brittle behavior of the composites in flexure can be explained by the strong bonding between the matrix and fibers formed by the reaction of interphase with molten Si during LSI. Strength retention after oxidation at 1000 and 1400?°C for 2?h was also compared in terms of ZrB2 amount contained in the composites. 相似文献

Yttrium silicate was introduced into the matrix of SiCf/SiC composites via the slurry impregnation and reactive chemical vapor infiltration (RCVI) methods to improve the water and oxygen corrosion resistance of the modified composite materials. The effects of heat treatment on the modified matrix and strength of the composites were systematically investigated. The results showed that the modified matrix was composed of a mixture of yttrium monosilicate, yttrium disilicate, and silicon carbide. The modified yttrium silicate matrix (named Y-Si-O matrix) and the silicon carbide matrix were laminated and well combined. After heat treatment, the amount of Y-Si-O in the mixed matrix increased. The modified composites with yttrium silicate had a similar flexural strength as SiCf/SiC composites (∼400 MPa). After treated at 1000 °C – 1300 °C, the strength of the modified composites increased by 17 %–26 %. The highest strength was measured for composites treated at 1200 °C. 相似文献

In this study, SiC nanowires (SiCNWS) were grown in situ on the surface of PyC interface through chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to improve the mechanical characteristics and thermal conductivity of three-dimensional SiCf/SiC composites fabricated via precursor infiltration pyrolysis (PIP). The effect of SiCNWS on the properties of the obtained composites was investigated by comparing them with conventional SiCf/PyC/SiC composites. After the deposition of SiCNWS, the flexural strength of the SiCf/SiC composites was found to increase by 46 %, and the thermal conductivity showed an obvious increase at 25?1000 °C. The energy release of the composites in the damage evolution process was analysed by acoustic emission. The results indicated that the damage evolution process was delayed owing to the decrease in porosity, the crack deflection and bridging of the SiCNWS. Furthermore, the excellent thermal conductivity was attributed to the thermally conductive pathways formed by the SiCNWS in the dense structure. 相似文献

In order to improve the degree of matrix densification of SiCf/SiC composites based on liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) process, the microstructure and mechanical properties of composites according to various pyrolysis temperatures and melt infiltration temperatures were investigated.Comparing the microstructures of SiCf/C carbon preform by a one-step pyrolysis process at 600 °C and two-step pyrolysis process at 600 and 1600 °C, the width of the crack and microcrack formation between the fibers and matrix in the fiber bundle increased during the two-step pyrolysis process. For each pyrolysis process, the density, porosity, and flexural strength of the SiCf/SiC composites manufactured by the LSI process at 1450–1550 °C were measured to evaluate the degree of matrix densification and mechanical properties. As a result, the SiCf/SiC composite that was fabricated by the two-step pyrolysis process and LSI process showed an 18% increase in density, 16%p decrease in porosity, and 150% increase in flexural strength on average compared to the composite fabricated by the one-step pyrolysis process.In addition, among the SiCf/SiC specimens fabricated by the LSI process after the same two-step pyrolysis process, the specimen that underwent the LSI process at 1500 °C showed 30% higher flexural strength on average than those at 1450 or 1550 °C. Furthermore, under the same pyrolysis temperature, the mechanical strength of SiCf/SiC specimens in which the LSI process was performed at 1500 °C was higher than that of the 1550 °C although both porosity and density were almost similar. This is because the mechanical properties of the Tyranno-S grade SiC fibers degraded rapidly with increasing LSI process temperature. 相似文献

Unidirectional SiCf/SiC composites (UD SiCf/SiC composites) with excellent mechanical properties were successfully fabricated by a modified PIP method which involved the preparation of film-like matrix containing carbon layer with a low concentration PCS solution followed by the rapid densification of composites with a high concentration PCS solution. Carbon layers were in-situ formed and alternating with SiC layers in the as-received matrix. The unique microstructure endows the composites with appropriate interfacial bonding state, good load transfer ability of interphase and matrix and load bearing ability of fiber, and great crack deflection capacity, which ensures the synergy of high strength and toughness of composites. It is also found that the fiber volume fraction in the preform makes a non-negligible effect on the distribution of interphase and matrix, of which the reasonable adjustment can be utilized to optimize the mechanical properties of composites. Compared with the composites only using high concentration PCS solution, the UD SiCf/SiC composites prepared by the modified PIP method exhibit superior mechanical properties. Ultrahigh flexural strength of 1318.5 ± 158.3 MPa and fracture toughness of 47.6 ± 5.6 MPa·m1/2 were achieved at the fiber volume fraction of 30%. 相似文献

SiCf/BN/SiC mini-composites comprising single tow SiC fibre-reinforced SiC with chemical vapour deposited (CVD) BN interface layers were fabricated. The mechanical performance and binding strength of the composites and the fibre/interface for the oxidized SiCf/BN/SiC mini-composite samples (oxidation at 1000, 1200, 1300, 1400 and 1500 °C in air for two hours) were investigated by tensile tests and fibre push-out tests, respectively. The value of oxidation mass change was also measured. Some unusual phenomena for the SiCf/BN/SiC mini-composites oxidized at 1000 °C were discovered in this work. The tensile strength reached a maximum value, and the mass gain rate showed as a singular negative value, while the shear strength between the fibre and the matrix was moderate. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction characterization methods were used to reveal the microstructural evolution and investigate the unusual phenomenon during oxidation procedures. This work will provide guidance for predicting the service life of SiCf/BN/SiC composite materials and may enable these materials to become a backbone for thermal structure systems in aerospace applications. 相似文献

This work explores the potentials of SiC fiber reinforced SiC matrix composites (SiCf/SiC) with SiC coating to resist aerodynamic ablations for thermal protection purpose. A plasma wind tunnel is employed to evaluate their anti-ablation property in dissociated air plasmas. The results suggest a critical ablation temperature of SiC coated SiCf/SiC, ≈ 1910 °C, which is the highest ever reported in literatures. Benefited by ‘all-SiC’ microstructures and relative flat ablated surfaces, the SiCf/SiC is still ablation-resistant up to ≈ 1820 °C after the occurrence of ablation. This implies an excellent ablation resistance and reusability property of SiCf/SiC, which surpasses that of traditional carbon fiber reinforced composites. Finally, an ablation mechanism dominated by surface characteristic is proposed. For the SiC coated SiCf/SiC, ablation is prone to take place at surface cracks formed by thermal mismatch; while for the ablated SiCf/SiC, ablation is triggered at the exposed fiber bundles which is over-heated in the plasmas. 相似文献

Interphase between the fibers and matrix plays a key role on the properties of fiber reinforced composites. In this work, the effect of interphase on mechanical properties and microstructures of 3D Cf/SiBCN composites at elevated temperatures was investigated. When PyC interphase is used, flexural strength and elastic modulus of the Cf/SiBCN composites decrease seriously at 1600°C (92 ± 15 MPa, 12 ± 2 GPa), compared with the properties at room temperature (371 ± 31 MPa, 31 ± 2 GPa). While, the flexural strength and elastic modulus of Cf/SiBCN composites with PyC/SiC multilayered interphase at 1600°C are as high as 330 ± 7 MPa and 30 ± 2 GPa, respectively, which are 97% and 73% of the values at room temperature (341 ± 20 MPa, 41 ± 2 GPa). To clarify the effect mechanism of the interphase on mechanical properties of the Cf/SiBCN composites at elevated temperature, interfacial bonding strength (IFBS) and microstructures of the composites were investigated in detail. It reveals that the PyC/SiC multilayered interphase can retard the SiBCN matrix degradation at elevated temperature, leading to the high strength retention of the composites at 1600°C. 相似文献

SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites are promising materials for high-temperature structural applications. In this study, KD-II SiC fiber bundles with a C/Si ratio of approximately 1.25 and an oxygen amount of 2.53%, were used as reinforcement. PyC interphase, PyC-SiC co-deposition interphase I and II, with different thicknesses, and SiC matrix were deposited into the SiC fiber bundles by using chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) to form SiCf/SiC mini composites. When the thickness of the interphase is approximately 1000 nm, the ultimate tensile stress and strain of SiCf/SiC mini composites with PyC-SiC co-deposition interphase I can reach 1120.0 MPa and 0.72%, respectively, which are significantly higher than those of SiCf/SiC mini composites with a PyC interphase (740.0 MPa, 0.87%) and PyC-SiC co-deposition interphase II (645.0 MPa, 0.54%). The effect of thicknesses and types of interphase on tensile fracture behavior of mini composites and then the fracture mechanism are discussed in detail. 相似文献

In this study, SiC interphase was prepared via a precursor infiltration-pyrolysis process, and effects of dipping concentrations on the mechanical, high-temperature dielectric and microwave absorption properties of the SiCf/SiC/Mu composites had been investigated. Results indicated that different dipping concentrations influenced ultimate interfacial morphology. The SiC interphase prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution was smooth and homogeneous, and no bridging between the fiber monofilament could be observed. At the same time, SiC interphase prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution had significantly improved mechanical properties of the composite. In particular, the flexural strength of the composite prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution reached 281 MPa. Both ε′ and ε′′ of the SiCf/SiC/Mu composites were enhanced after preparing SiC interphase at room temperature. The SiCf/SiC/Mu composite prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution showed the maximum dielectric loss value of 0.38 at 10 GHz. Under the dual action of polarization mechanism and conductance loss, both ε′ and ε′′ of the SiCf/SiC/Mu composites enhanced as the temperature increased. At 700 °C, the corresponding bandwidth (RL ≤ ?5 dB) of SiCf/SiC/Mu composites prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution can reach 3.3 GHz at 2.6 mm. The SiCf/SiC/Mu composite with SiC interphase prepared with 5 wt% PCS/xylene solution is expected to be an excellent structural-functional material. 相似文献

Unidirectional (UD) silicon carbide (SiC) fiber-reinforced SiC matrix (UD SiCf/SiC) composites with CVI BN interphase were fabricated by polymer infiltration-pyrolysis (PIP) process. The effects of the anisotropic distribution of SiC fibers on the mechanical properties, thermophysical properties and electromagnetic properties of UD SiCf/SiC composites in different directions were studied. In the direction parallel to the axial direction of SiC fibers, SiC fibers bear the load and BN interphase ensures the interface debonding, so the flexural strength and the fracture toughness of the UD SiCf/SiC composites are 813.0 ± 32.4 MPa and 26.1 ± 2.9 MPa·m1/2, respectively. In the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of SiC fibers, SiC fibers cannot bear the load and the low interfacial bonding strengths between SiC fiber/BN interphase (F/I) and BN interphase/SiC matrix (I/M) both decrease the matrix cracking stress, so the corresponding values are 36.6 ± 6.9 MPa and 0.9 ± 0.5 MPa?m1/2, respectively. The thermal expansion behaviors of UD SiCf/SiC composites are similar to those of SiC fibers in the direction parallel to the axial direction of SiC fibers, and are similiar to those of SiC matrix in the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of SiC fibers. The total electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EM SET) of UD SiCf/SiC composites attains 32 dB and 29 dB when the axial direction of SiC fibers is perpendicular and parallel to the electric field direction, respectively. The difference of conductivity in different directions is the main reason causing the different SET. And the dominant electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding mechanism is absorption for both studied directions. 相似文献

This study examined the effects of post-sintering heat treatment on enhancing the toughness of SiCf/SiC composites. Commercially available Tyranno® SiC fabrics with contiguous dual ‘PyC (inner)-SiC (outer)’ coatings deposited on the SiC fibers were infiltrated with a SiC + 10 wt% Al2O3-Y2O3 slurry by electrophoretic deposition. SiC green tapes were stacked between the slurry-infiltrated fabrics to control the matrix volume fraction. Densification of approximately 94% ρtheo was achieved by hot pressing at 1750 °C, 20 MPa for 2 h in an Ar atmosphere. Sintered composites were then subjected to isothermal annealing treatment at 1100, 1250, 1350, and 1750 °C for 5 h in Ar. The correlation between the flexural behavior and microstructure was explained in terms of the in situ-toughened matrix, phase evolution in the sintering additive, role of dual interphases and observed fracture mechanisms. Extensive fractography analysis revealed interfacial debonding at the hybrid interfaces and matrix cracking as the key fracture modes, which were responsible for the toughening behavior in the annealed SiCf/SiC composites. 相似文献
