The interfacial reaction characteristics of two different types of SiC fibers with Ni3Al (Ni-Al-Cr-Zr-B) matrix have been investigated. The microstructure and chemical compositions across the reaction zones have been analyzed quantitatively using microscopy and electron probe microanalysis. In both types of SiC/Ni3Al composites, it was found that Ni was the dominant diffusing species responsible for the overall reaction. The C-rich layer outside the SCS-6 fiber provided an incubation period, but could not stop the inward diffusion of Ni. It could, however, effectively stop the diffusion of Al, Zr, and Cr. No significant increase in reaction zone thickness after exposure at temperatures below 900/degree/C for up to 100 hours was observed. When the C-rich layer was depleted, a rapid increase in reaction zone thickness and the formation of multilayer reaction products occurred. In the case of Sigma/Ni3Al composite, extensive reaction between the fiber and the matrix occurred at all the temperatures studied. Diffusion barrier coating for both types of fibers is required to develop nickel aluminide matrix composites. 17 refs., 3 figs.
