Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of the Reaction-Sintered Silicon Carbide Ceramics Modified by Carbon Fiber
An effective method to reduce residual silicon content in reaction-sintered silicon carbide(RSSC)ceramics is presented to solve the problem that traditional RSSC ceramics have low mechanical properties for its high residual silicon content. The method helps to reduce the residual silicon content and to get composite ceramics with excellent mechanical properties by using short carbon fiber as carbon source and boron carbide to promote liquid silicon infiltration. The reaction mechanism of the carbon fiber
the microstructure evolution of the sintered body and the change of the mechanical properties are analyzed. Experimental results show that the carbon fiber reacts with silicon using dissolution-precipitation method
to form fiber-like silicon in the sintering body
then the resulting SiC blocks the capillary and the carbon fiber reacts with the silicon by diffusion. Under the dual fuction of the self-supporting interpenetrating network structure of the carbon fiber and the boron carbide
the flexural strength reaches a peak value of(482±12)MPa when 30% volume fraction of carbon fiber is added; while the residual silicon content decreases to 1.6% volume fraction
the silicon size is nanoscale and the fracture toughness reaches a peak value of(5.82±0.37)MPa?m
