There has been a great progress in the development of heat-resistant silicon carbide ceramics, owing to the better understanding of composition-microstructure-properties relations. Based on the progress, it has been possible to fabricate heat-resistant SiC ceramics with improved fracture toughness. In this paper, three rare-earth oxides (Re2O3, Re=Er, Lu, and Sc) in combination with AlN were used as sintering additives for a β-SiC containing 1 vol% α-SiC seeds. The effect of intergranular phase, using Re2O3 and AlN as sintering additives, on the microstructure and mechanical properties of liquid-phasesintered, and subsequently annealed SiC ceramics were investigated. The microstructure and mechanical properties were strongly influenced by the sintering additive composition, which determines the chemistry and structure of IGP. The strength and fracture toughness of the Lu2O3-doped SiC were ∼700 MPa at 1400oC and ∼6 MPa.m1/2 at room temperature, respectively. The beneficial effect of the new additive compositions on high-temperature strength was attributed to the crystallization of the intergranular phase.

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide ceramics were sintered by infiltration of Si and B–Si alloy under an argon atmosphere at different temperatures. The element boron was added to the silicon melt to form a B–Si alloy first. The mechanical properties of samples were improved by infiltration of the B–Si melt. The samples infiltrated with the Si-only melt were found to be very sensitive to experimental temperature. The bending strengths of 58.6 and 317.0 MPa were achieved at 1530 and 1570 °C, respectively. The sample made by infiltration of B–Si alloy was successfully sintered at 1530 °C. The relative density of the sample was more than 90%. The infiltration of B–Si alloy reduced the sintering temperature and the bending strength reached 326.9 MPa. The infiltration mechanism of B–Si alloy is discussed herein.

The porous silicon carbide ceramics were fabricated by adding a variety of low melting point oxides in this paper. The additives were mullite, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, and vanadium oxide. Effects of the additives content on the properties of porous silicon carbide ceramics were studied. The results showed that, when the additives content was greater than 2.8%, the apparent porosity, the bending strength, the permeability and the pore size were in an inversely proportional relationship with the additives content, while the content was less than 2.8%, proportional relationship was observed. When the additives content reached 2.8%, the porous SiC ceramics showed the best performances.

The article discusses an energy-efficient method for producing SiC-based composites via doping with oxide eutectic compositions and batch granulometry regulation. The influence of batch granulometry on physico-mechanical properties of ceramics is studied, and fractions ratio is determined allowing us to obtain a dense material with improved strength and fracture toughness. Such ceramics shows excellent mechanical behavior and holds much promise as a structural and armor material.

The physical properties of sintered alpha silicon carbide are reviewed, including the effect of oxidation at high temperatures. Net shape fabricated components are described which have undergone extensive testing in heat engine applications. Properties of an SiC/TiB2 composite material, which has significantly improved fracture toughness, are presented.
