| Popis: | Continuous carbon fiber (Cf) reinforced silicon carbide (SiC) matrix composite (Cf/SiC) was processed through hot pressing (HP) using polycarbosilane (PCS) in matrix and polysilazane in interphase regions as polymer binders. HP experiments were conducted at 4 MPa, 1200 °C and 1 h; followed by PCS polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) at 1200 °C under vacuum. The BN/SiC-Si3N4 interphase formed on the Cf cloth during BN dispersed polysilazane polymer coating and pyrolysis. The influence of PCS quantity during HP experiments on Cf/SiC composites was studied. Results suggest that sintering of SiC matrix in Cf/SiC composite improves by increasing PCS content during HP; however, high PCS content increases the liquidity of SiC-PCS mixture to flow out of the composite structure. The Cf/SiC composites with relative density ranging from 79 to 83% and flexural strength from 67 to 138 MPa was achieved. |
