Thermal shock behavior of an SiC fiber-reinforced cordierite composite

Conference · · Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings; (USA)
OSTI ID:6860708
Unidirectional SiC fiber-reinforced glass-ceramic composites were fabricated by slurry filament winding. The cordierite/SiC hot pressed specimens were examined with respect to atmosphere effects and thermal shock behavior. Composite bars were crystallized in air and in argon and subsequently exposed in air for 8 h at 1000 C. Flexure tests were performed on the atmosphere specimens and the resulting fracture surface analyzed for effect on the fiber matrix interface. The same composite system was thermal-shocked at 400 C, and the strength tested in tension. Again the fracture surface was analyzed for changes in the fiber/matrix interface.
