Fiber-matrix interfacial characteristics in a fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composite

OSTI ID:7143665

Fiber-matrix interfacial shear stress and mechanical properties in oxide-matrix composites uniaxially reinforced with either uncoated or coated silicon carbide filaments were measured in the as-fabricated state, and following a thermal treatment at 1300 C for 100 h. All the tested composites showed higher fiber-matrix interfacial debond stress than the frictional stress, and toughened-composite behavior. Mechanical properties of composites reinforced with uncoated filaments were unaffected by an annealing treatment at 1300 C for 100 h. In contrast, an identical annealing treatment given to a composite reinforced with coated filaments led to a decrease in first matrix cracking stress and ultimate strength. These observations were related to the changes in the measured interfacial shear stress values as a result of the annealing treatment. 10 refs.
