AbstractLayer-structured interphase, existing between reinforcing fiber and ceramics matrix, is an indispensable constituent for fiber-reinforced ceramic composites due to its determinant role in the mechanical behavior of the composites. However, the interphase may suffer high residual stress because of the mismatch of thermal expansion coefficients in the constituents, and this can exert significant influence on the mechanical behavior of the composites. Here, the residual stress in the boron nitride (BN) interphase of continuous SiC fiber-reinforced SiC composites was measured using a micro-Raman spectrometer. The effects of the residual stress on the mechanical behavior of the composites were investigated by correlating the residual stress with the mechanical properties of the composites. The results indicate that the residual stress increases from 26.5 to 82.6 MPa in tension as the fabrication temperature of the composites rises from 1500 to 1650 °C. Moreover, the increasing tensile residual stress leads to significant variation of tensile strain, tensile strength, and fiber/matrix debonding mode of the composites. The sublayer slipping of the interphase caused by the residual stress should be responsible for the transformation of the mechanical behavior. This work can offer important guidance for residual stress adjustment in fiber-reinforced ceramic composites.

Abstract Electrical resistance has become a technique of interest for monitoring SiC-based ceramic composites. The typical constituents of SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix composites, SiC, Si and/or C, are semi-conducive to some degree resulting in the fact that when damage occurs in the form of matrix cracking or fiber breakage, the resistance increases. For aero engine applications, SiC fiber reinforced SiC, sometimes Si-containing, matrix with a BN interphase are often the main constituents. The resistivity of Si and SiC is highly temperature dependent. For high temperature tests, electrical lead attachment must be in a cold region which results in strong temperature effects on baseline measurements of resistance. This can be instructive as to test conditions; however, there is interest in focusing the resistance measurement in the hot section where damage monitoring is desired. The resistivity of C has a milder temperature dependence than that of Si or SiC. In addition, if the C is penetrated by damage, it would result in rapid oxidation of the C, presumably resulting in a change in resistance. One approach considered here is to insert carbon “rods” in the form of CVD SiC monofilaments with a C core to try and better sense change in resistance as it pertains to matrix crack growth in an elevated temperature test condition. The monofilaments were strategically placed in two non-oxide composite systems to understand the sensitivity of ER in damage detection at room temperature as well as elevated temperatures. Two material systems were considered for this study. The first composite system consisted of a Hi-Nicalon woven fibers, a BN interphase and a matrix processed via polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) which had SCS-6 monofilaments providing the C core. The second composite system was a melt-infiltrated (MI) pre-preg laminate which contained Hi-Nicalon Type S fibers with BN interphases with SCS-Ultra monofilaments providing the C core. The two composite matrix systems represent two extremes in resistance, the PIP matrix being orders of magnitude higher in resistance than the Si-containing pre-preg MI matrix. Single notch tension-tension fatigue tests were performed at 815°C to stimulate crack growth. Acoustic emission (AE) was used along with electrical resistance (ER) to monitor the damage initiation and progression during the test. Post-test microscopy was performed on the fracture specimen to understand the oxidation kinetics and carbon recession length in the monofilaments.

ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties of unidirectional Nicalon SiC fiber reinforced calcium aluminosilicate (CAS/SiC) and magnesium aluminosilicate (MAS/SiC) glass-ceramic composites have been investigated by tensile testing and a nondestructive laser-ultrasound technique. The barium-stuffed MAS was either undoped or doped with 5% borosilicate glass. The degradation of the elastic stiffness constant Cu in the transverse direction due to interface damage was monitored in-situ by measuring the laser-generated ultrasound wave velocity. The three composite materials show distinctly different macroscopic deformation characteristics, which are correlated strongly to the interface degradation. A stronger reduction trend of the elastic constant ?? is associated with a larger degree of inelastic deformation. Observations of the fracture surfaces also reveal the close relation between fiber pullout length and interfacial characteristics. Interfaces of these composites have been studied by TEM, and their influence on inhibiting and deflecting matrix cracks is discussed.

Deposited Film

W–Si–N films were deposited by reactive sputtering in a Ar + N2 atmosphere from a W target encrusted with different number of Si pieces and followed by a thermal annealing at increasing temperatures up to 900 °C. Three iron-based substrates with different thermal expansion coefficients, in the range of 1.5 × 10−6 to 18 × 10−6 K−1 were used. The chemical composition, structure, residual stress, hardness (H), and Young’s modulus (E) were evaluated after all the annealing steps. The as-deposited film with low N and Si contents was crystalline whereas the one with higher contents was amorphous. After thermal annealing at 900 °C the amorphous film crystallized as body-centered cubic α–W. The crystalline as-deposited film presented the same phase even after annealing. There were no significant changes in the properties of both films up to 800 °C annealing. However, at 900 °C, a strong decrease and increase in the hardness were observed for the crystalline and amorphous films, respectively. It was possible to find a good correlation between the residual stress and the hardness of the films. In several cases, particularly for the amorphous coating, H/E higher than 0.1 was reached, which envisages good tribological behavior. The two methods (curvature and x-ray diffraction) used for calculation of the residual stress of the coatings showed fairly good agreement in the results.

MgAl2O4-Y3Al5O12 ceramic composites were prepared using fused spinel and a Y2O3 micropowder as the raw materials. The microstructure and thermal properties of the composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, laser flash diffusivity measurements. The mechanical properties were also determined. MgAl2O4-Y3Al5O12 ceramic composites are composed of spinel and garnet structures. The thermal expansion coefficients of MgAl2O4 and MgAl2O4-Y3Al5O12 ceramics are similar. The measured thermal diffusivity decreases gradually with increasing temperature. Thermal conductivity of the composites is in the range of 3.3-5.8 W∙m-1∙K-1 from 400°C to 900°C.
