Continuous silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites were fabricated by a combining polymer impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) and vapor silicon infiltration (VSI) process. The mechanical properties and microstructure of the SiCf/SiC composites were studied. The results show that the open porosity of the SiCf/SiC composites is near zero. The density and mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC increase with decreasing the porosity of SiCf/C. However, the SiC fibers are damaged during the VSI process due to the reaction between SiC fibers and vapor Si.

In this paper, silicon carbide fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (SiCf/SiC) composites were fabricated using binder jetting additive manufacturing followed by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis. Spherical SiC powders were produced using milling, spray drying, and thermal plasma treatment, and were characterized using SEM and XRD methods. Irregularly shaped and spherical SiC powders were used to obtain SiCf/SiC blends for the application in binder jetting. The effect of SiC powder shape on densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties of binder jetted SiCf/SiC composites was evaluated. The highest density of 2.52 g/cm3 was obtained after six polymer infiltration and pyrolysis cycles. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the fabricated SiCf/SiC composites were characterized. Using the spherical SiC powder resulted in higher fracture toughness and hardness, but lower flexural strength compared to the irregularly shaped powder. It was shown that it is feasible to fabricate dense SiCf/SiC composites using binder jetting followed by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis.
