| Abstract: | Development of silicon carbide composites . This paper describes the production of fibre-reinforced SiC composites applying the methods of chemical vapour impregnation (CVI), reaction bonding by liquid silicon impregnation (RB-SiC), and impregnation with subsequent polymerisation and thermal decomposition of organosilicon compounds. The chemical and physical fundamentals of these processes are discussed. Composites of different fibre/matrix combinations are introduced; the most promising combinations can be selected from the experimental results presented. |
