摘要
Sub-micrometer SiC particles were firstly added to the preceramic solution in the first infiltration step to enhance the mechanical properties of 2D Cf/SiC composites fabricated via polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP) process. The effects of pyrolysis temperature and SiC-filler content on microstructures and properties of the composites were systematically studied. The results show that the failure stress and fracture toughness increased with the increase of pyrolysis temperature. SiC filler of sub-micron scale infiltrated into the composites increased the mechanical properties. As a result, for the finally fabricated composite infiltrated with a slurry containing 40 wt.%SiC filler, the failure stress was doubled compared to that without SiC filler addition, and the fracture toughness reached ≈10 MPa m1/2.
