This book was released on 1999 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preforms of BN/SiC coated Hi-Nicalon and Sylramic SiC fibers were heat treated under 0.1 MPa argon pressure between 1000 deg to 1800 deg C for 1 and 100h. The effects of high temperature exposure on physical dimensions, weight, room temperature tensile strength, and microstructure of preforms have been studied. Both preforms showed shrinkage and weight loss, and microstructural changes beyond 1000 deg C. After 100 hr exposure, the Hi-Nicalon preforms showed strength degradation beyond 1200 deg C. The mechanisms of the strength degradation appear to be grain growth of the SiC fibers and crystallization of the BN coating. After 100 hr, the Sylramic preforms heat treated to 1000 deg C retained their as-produced strength while some of those heat-treated between 1000 deg and 1800 deg C showed strength degradation and others did not. At 1800 deg C, the ultimate tensile strength decreased with increasing time of exposure. Reasons for strength degradation of Sylramic preforms are being investigated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preforms of BN/SiC coated Sylramic SiC fibers were heat treated at 1420 deg, 1600 deg, and 1800 deg C in 0.1 MPa argon or at 1800 deg C in 103 MPa nitrogen for 1 h. Optical, SEM, and TEM techniques were used to analyze the effects of environmental exposure on constituent microstructure of the preforms. TEM analysis of the as-received preforms indicates that the CVI BN coating is predominantly amorphous with small amounts of microcrystalline BN grains, and that the SiC coating on top of the BN coating and SiC fibers is polycrystalline. With increasing temperature of exposure from 1420 deg to 1800 deg C, the preforms heat treated in argon showed increasing amounts of crystalline BN in the CVI BN coating, and coarsening of SiC grains in the CVI SiC coating and SiC fibers. On the other hand, the preforms heal treated in 103 MPa nitrogen at 1800 deg C for 1 h showed microstructural changes inside the fiber tows similar to those heat treated at 1800 deg C in 0.1 MPa argon for 1 h, but the same preforms on the outer periphery of the tows showed reaction between nitrogen and the CVI SiC coating to form Si3N4.

This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Batch to batch and within batch variations, and the influence of fiber architecture on room temperature physical and tensile properties of BN/SiC coated Hi-Nicalon and Sylramic SiC fiber preform specimens were determined. The three fiber architectures studied were plain weave (PW), 5-harness satin (5HS) and 8-harness satin (8HS) Results indicate that the physical properties vary up to 10 percent within a batch, and up to 20 percent between batches of preforms. Load-reload (Hysteresis) and acoustic emission methods were used to analyze damage accumulation occurring during tensile loading. Early acoustic emission activity, before observable hysteretic behavior, indicates that the damage starts with the formation of nonbridged tunnel cracks. These cracks then propagate and intersect the load bearing "0" fibers giving rise to hysteretic behavior, For the Hi-Nicalon preform specimens, the onset of "0" bundle cracking stress and strain appeared to be independent of the fiber architecture. Also, the "0" fiber bundle cracking strain remained nearly the same for the preform specimens of both fiber types. Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analysis indicates that the Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) Boron Nitride (BN) interface coating is mostly amorphous and contains carbon and oxygen impurities, and the CVI SiC coating is crystalline. No reaction exists between the CVI BN and SiC coating. Bhatt, Ramakrishna T. and Chen, Yuan L. and Morscher, Gregory N. Glenn Research Center NASA/TM-2001-210695, NAS 1.15:210695, E-12626

This book was released on 1985 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The room temperature and elevated temperature tensile strengths of commercially available chemically vapor-deposited silicon carbide fibers were measured after 15 min heat treatment to 1600 C in various environments. These environments included oxygen, air, argon and nitrogen at one atmosphere and vacuum at 10 to the minus 9th power atmosphere. Two types of fibers were examined which differed in the SiC content of their carbon-rich coatings. Threshold temperature for fiber strength degradation was observed to be dependent on the as-received fiber-flaw structure, on the environment and on the coating. Fractographic analyses and flexural strength measurements indicate that tensile strength losses were caused by surface degradation. Oxidation of the surface coating is suggested as one possible degradation mechanism. In general, the SiC fibers containing the higher percentage of SiC near the surface of the carbon rich coating showed better strength retention and higher elevated temperature strength. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polymer-derived SiC-based fibers with fine-diameter (10-15 mm) and high strength (3 GPa) were prepared with carbon-rich and near-stoichiometric compositions. Fiber tensile strengths were determined after heat treatments at temperatures up to 1950 deg C in non-oxidizing atmospheres and up to 1250 deg C in air. The creep resistance of fibers was assessed using bend stress relaxation (BSR) measurements. Fibers showed excellent strength retention after heat treatments in non-oxidiziing atmospheres at temperatures up to 1700 deg C for the carbon-rich fibers and up to 1950 deg C for the near-stoichiometric fibers. The near-stoichiometric fibers also showed considerably better strength retention after heat treatments in air. Creep resistance of the as-fabricated fibers was greatly improved by high-temperature heat treatments. Heat-treated near-stoichiometric fibers could be prepared with 3 GPa tensile strengths and BSR creep behavior which was significantly better than that reported for i-Nicalon TM Type S fibers. It was also shown that the near-stoichiometric fibers could be coated with hexagonal BN using an in-situ processing method.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The elevated temperature four-point flexural strength and the room temperature tensile and flexural strength properties after thermal shock were measured for ceramic composites consisting of 30 vol % uniaxially aligned 142 microns diameter SiC fibers in a reaction bonded Si3N4 matrix. The elevated temperature strengths were measured after 15 min of exposure in air at temperatures to 1400 C. The thermal shock treatment was accomplished by heating the composite in air for 15 min at temperatures to 1200 C and then quenching in water at 25 C. The results indicate no significant loss in strength properties either at temperature or after thermal shock when compared with the strength data for composites in the as-fabricated condition. (jes).

Bhatt and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong and tough Hi-Nicalon SiC fiber reinforced reaction-bonded silicon nitride matirix composites (SiC/RBSN) have been fabricated by the fiber lay-up approach. Commercially available uncoated and PBN, PBN/Si-rich PBN, and BN/SiC coated SiC Hi-Nicalon fiber tows were used as reinforcement. The composites contained ~24 vol % of aligned 14 ♯m diameter SiC fibers in a porous RBSN matrix. Both one- and two-dimensional composites were characterized. The effects of interface coating composition, and the nitridation enhancing additive, NiO, on the room temperature physical, tensile, and interfacial shear strenght properties of SiC/RBSN matrix composites were evaluated. Results indicate that all three coated fibers, the thickness of the coating decreased from the outer periphery to the interior of the tows, and that from 10 to 30 percent of the fibers were not covered with the interface coating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon effects on tensile and creep properties, and thermal conductivity of Hi-Nicalon SiC/SiC composites have been investigated. The composites consist of 8 layers of 5HS 2-D woven preforms of BN/SiC coated Hi-Nicalon fiber mats and a silicon matrix, or a mixture of silicon matrix and SiC particles. The Hi-Nicalon SiC/silicon and Hi-Nicalon SiC/SiC composites contained about 24 and 13 vol% silicon, respectively. Results indicate residual silicon up to 24 vol% has no significant effect on creep and thermal conductivity, but does decrease the primary elastic modulus and stress corresponding to deviation from linear stress-strain behavior.
