Improvement of the thermal stability of continuous SiC fiber reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiCf/SiC CMC) by the pre-treatment of SiC fillers and the suppression of oxidation during polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) process were investigated. Dense SiCf/SiC CMCs were fabricated using the slurry infiltration and PIP process under a purified argon atmosphere. Structure and mechanical properties of the SiCf/SiC CMC heated at different temperatures were evaluated. The flexural strength of the SiCf/SiC CMC decreased only 15.3%after heating at 1400 ?C, which exhibited a clear improvement compared with the literature data (49.5% loss), where severe thermal deterioration of SiCf/SiC composite occurred at high temperatures by the crystallization and decomposition of the precursor-derived ceramic matrix. The thermal stability of the SiCf/SiC CMC fabricated by PIP process was improved by the pre-treatment of SiC fillers for removing oxides and the strict atmosphere control to prevent oxidation.

SiC fiber-reinforced SiC ceramic matrix composites (SiCf/SiC CMCs) are being increasingly used in the hot sections of gas turbines because of their light weight and mechanical properties at high temperatures. The objective of this investigation was the development of a thermal/environmental barrier coating (T/EBC) composite coating system consisting of an environmental barrier coating (EBC) to protect the ceramic matrix composites from chemical attack and a thermal barrier coating (TBC) that insulates and reduces the ceramic matrix composites substrate temperature for increased lifetime. In this paper, a plasma spray-physical vapor deposition (PS-PVD) method was used to prepare multilayer Si–HfO2/Yb2Si2O7/Yb2SiO5/Gd2Zr2O7 composite coatings on the surface of SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites. The purpose of this study is to develop a coating with resistance to high temperatures and chemical attack. Different process parameters are adopted, and their influence on the microstructure characteristics of the coating is discussed. The water quenching thermal cycle of the coating at high temperatures was tested. The results show that the structure of the thermal/environmental barrier composite coating changes after water quenching because point defects and dislocations appear in the Gd2Zr2O7 and Yb2SiO5 coatings. A phase transition was found to occur in the Yb2SiO5 and Yb2Si2O7 coatings. The failure mechanism of the T/EBC composite coating is mainly spalling when the top layer penetrates cracks and cracking occurs in the interface of the Si–HfO2/Yb2Si2O7 coating.
