Popis: | The mechanical and thermal properties of Si2N2O/SiC-whisker composites were studied with emphasis on the effect of matrix composition and of whisker content. The fracture toughness of Si2N2O was remarkably improved by 90% with a concomitant 70% strength improvement by addition of SiC whiskers of only 10 vol%. Optimum mechanical and thermal properties of Si2N2O/SiC-whisker composites were obtained at an equimolar ratio of Si3N4/SiO2, which is the stoichiometric composition for Si2N2O. Additional investigation concerning the Si2N2O-matrix/SiC-whisker interface by controlling sintering additives is necessary for further improvement of mechanical and thermal properties of Si2N2O/SiC-whisker composites. |
