A preceramic polymer route to molded SiC ceramic parts
Abstract
A polysilazane preceramic polymer, which yields amorphous Si-N-C ceramic material when pyrolyzed, was investigated as a binder for SiC powder in dry pressing formulations. For formulations containing 15-30 wt pct polysilazane binder, the nonoxidative thermal crosslinking/pyrolysis of the molded parts at up to 1300 C produced an SiC-particulate composite material in which the dominant microstructural feature was a high level of nanoporosity in the Si-N-C matrix phase. Ongoing efforts to characterize the mechanical, physical, and microstructural properties of these ceramic materials are discussed. Preliminary work on the fabrication of several structural ceramic parts is also presented to illustrate the unique processing characteristics of these materials. 5 refs.
