Fabrication and Mechanical Properties of Reaction Sintered Silicon Carbide Matrix Composite

Reaction sintering of two-dimensional silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide composite by sheet stacking method

“…On the basis of this process, we have paid attention to reaction sintering [24][25][26] which has an acceptable processing temperature and the possibility of densification and near-net shape formation of components with complex shape. Reaction sintering was used in the fabrication of 2D woven SiC/SiC composite using a sheet stacking method in order to further increase mechanical and thermal properties of the composite and to obtain flexibility of the manufacturing process of 2D woven SiC/SiC composites for the fabrication of larger parts.…”

Two‐Dimensional‐Woven‐Carbon‐Fiber‐Reinforced Silicon Carbide/Carbon Matrix Composites Produced by Reaction Bonding

“…Molten silicon infiltration into a porous carbon matrix generally has been used for silicon carbide (SiC) matrix composites. 1,2 However, it is difficult to control the reaction between the fiber and the molten silicon and the amount of residual silicon. We have reported that unidirectional(UD)carbon-fiber-reinforced SiC composites could be fabricated at 1420°C via reaction bonding with phenolic resin, using silicon powder as a matrix precursor, and there was neither residual silicon in the products nor reaction between the carbon fiber and the silicon.…”
