Mechanical and thermal properties of 2D and 3D SiC/SiC composites

Fabrication of SiCf/SiC composites by alternating current electrophoretic deposition (AC–EPD) and hot pressing

“…The composite showed a flexural strength of 413.9 ± 18.5 MPa, which was comparable to those reported using other sintering additives, such as B 4 C and B 4 C-AlN-C, 48,49 or higher than those obtained using other techniques. 17,50,51 This might be due to the relatively higher composite density originating from the effective electrophoretic infiltration of the matrix phase into the deep voids of the fabrics. On the other hand, the composites showed an abrupt decrease in load after fracturing, indicating its brittle nature, which might be due to the relatively strong matrix-fiber interface.…”

Issues and advances in SiCf/SiC composites development for fusion reactors

“…The properties of such fibres have been reported elsewhere [1,9]. It has been proved that also complex 3D architectures can be made by using such fibres [10,11].…”

Mechanical and thermal properties of chemical vapor infiltration engineered 2D-woven and 3D-braided carbon silicate composites

“…Similar results were reported in Refs. [10,14,18]. The thermal properties make the SiC f /SiC composites suitable for application in nuclear area and shown by reports by Ivekovi'c et al [3], Yamada [12] et al etc.…”

“…Pluvinage et al [9] examined the mechanical properties of two-dimensional (2D)-woven and three-dimensional (3D)-braided SiC f /SiC composites with Nicalon fiber (1st Generation). Yamada et al [10] investigated thermo-mechanical properties of 3D satin-weaved and 2D non-woven SiC f /SiC composite and reported that the thermal conductivity increased when the ratio of fiber configured to Zdirection increased. Xu et al [11] reported high performance 3D textile SiC f /SiC composites by chemical vapor infiltration.…”
