Silicon carbide '87; Proceedings of the Symposium, Columbus, OH, Aug. 2-5, 1987
Articles on silicon carbide are presented, covering topics such as pressureless sintering and properties of plasma synthesized SiC powder, the synthesis of submicron SiC powder, synthesis by gaseous pyrolysis of tetramethysilane, thermal carburization of single-crystal Si, SiC alloys, the effect of BeO on SiC, synthesis and characterization of HSC SiC, quantitative analysis of free C in SiC, and enhanced formation of 4H polytype in SiC materials, producing ultrafine SiC powder by turbomilling, the ultrafine grinding of alpha-SiC, ultrasonic impact grinding, suspension processing of beta-SiC powders, and slip casting and sintering SiC. Other topics include NMR imaging for detecting binder/plasticizers in green-state structural ceramics, the effects of consolidation techniques on alpha-SiC, pressureless sintered alpha-SiC, improved strength SiC-based ceramics, and the fracture resistance of sintered SiC, the deformation behavior of reaction-bonded, chemically vapor deposited and sintered SiCs at elevated temperatures, SiC and Si3N4 behavior in mixed oxidation/chlorination environments, and SiC ceramic heat exchanger materials oxidation in the presence of Cl. Additional subjects are the oxidation of SiC in low dew-point H, thermal expansion and elastic anisotropies of SiC as related to polytype structure, SiC for advanced heat engines, sintered alpha-SiC turbine engine components, large SiC radiant tube production processes, SiC whiskers and platelets, single phase alpha-SiC reinforcements for composites, SiC fibers from methylpolysilane polymers, and techniques for the characterization of Si, C, N, and O fibers.
