| Description | The room-temperature tensile properties and constituent microstructures of a unidirectionally reinforced SiC/reaction bonded silicon nitride (RBSN) composite have been investigated after heat treatments at 1400, 1600, or 1800 C in nitrogen for up to 100 hr. The composite consisted of approximately 24 vol% of aligned 140 micron diameter, continuous length, chemically vapor deposited SiC fibers in an approximately 40% porous silicon nitride matrix. The composites heat treated at 1400 C for up to 100 hr showed elastic modulus, first matrix cracking strength, and ultimate tensile strength values similar to those of the as-fabricated composites, but those heat treated for 1 hr beyond this temperature displayed losses in all three properties. Recrystallization of the SiC fibers, reaction between the carbon-rich interface coating on the fibers and the RBSN matrix, and dissociation of the RBSN matrix are the reasons for the loss of mechanical properties. |
