Tough silicon nitride matrix composites using Textron silicon carbide monofilaments

Conference · · Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings; (USA)
OSTI ID:6978131
The use of Textron SCS silicon carbide monofilament fibers as a reinforcement for silicon nitride is described. Samples were processed by both chemical vapor infiltration and hot pressing. Mechanical tests were performed in flexure, tension, and in shear. A ballistic test demonstrated high velocity impact toughness. 5 refs.
