An experiment is conducted to fabricate a flexible prepreg sheet with a continuous Si-Ti-C-O fiber by means of an air-plasma spraying method for use as an MMC plate. Plasma spraying is conducted under atmospheric conditions, and the prepreg and MMC sheets are investigated by means of a three-point flexural test and Auger electron spectroscopy to study strength and oxidation qualities. The oxidation layer is found to be about 200 A in depth, and the longitudinal and transverse flexural strengths of a unidirectionally reinforced MMC plate fabricated by hot pressing at 660 C are given as 1.0 and 0.25 GPa, respectively. The technique outlined is shown to be useful for developing squeeze-cast MMCs reinforced with Si-Ti-C-O that have high specific strength, specific modulus, and heat resistance. 18 refs.
