Book Description
Carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (C/SiC) are a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material that offers benefits for use in a wide range of high temperature structural applications. However the susceptibility of the carbon fibers to degradation in oxidizing environments has hindered the material's use in certain applications requiring long lives under oxidizing conditions. The susceptibility of carbon fibers to oxidation will be discussed as well as the enhancement (improvement in oxidation resistance) of C/SiC materials. Thermogravimetric analysis of carbon fibers shows susceptibility to oxidation in two distinct kinetic regimes. However, in the thermogravimetric (wt. loss) analysis of unstressed, unenhanced, seal coated C/SiC coupons, the two regimes were not observed due to crack closure and matrix effects, which inhibited the oxidation process. Stressed oxidation (creep rupture) tests put the material under a stress, which is a more realistic condition for many applications. In stressed oxidation tests, the two oxidation kinetics regimes were observed. These tests can provide better insight into how the material will perform in applications involving stress. Stressed oxidation of enhanced materials containing oxidation inhibitors showed significantly improved lives at the specific test conditions considered, although there was susceptibility to oxidation at intermediate temperatures.

Book Description
The purpose of Oxide-Based Fiber-Reinforced Ceramic-Matrix Composites is to provide comprehensive information on the most recent successful findings. The book consists of six chapters which characterize the current state of the art concerning oxide-based fiber-reinforced composites. Chapter one provides an introduction, examples of application areas and background information. Chapter two deals with the primary material properties for the areas of application and lists the possible constituent parts of the composites, depending on particular demands. Chapter three explains both the past and present fabrication methods which can affect the performance of the composites. Chapter four defines the interphase-related phenomena and describes the mechanical characteristics of the oxide-based fiber-reinforced composite, produced with different interphases. Chapter five deals with the fabrication route, functionality and mechanical characterization of the porous-matrix composites. The last chapter summarizes the present achievements and identifies requirements for reaching the goal, thereby providing a promising course for future research.

Book Description
Continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) are being developed for high temperature structural applications, many of which are in oxidative environments. Such composites are attractive since they are light-weight and possess the desired mechanical properties at elevated temperature and in aggressive environments. The most significant advantage is their toughness and their non-catastrophic failure behavior. The mechanical properties of CFCCs have been characteristically linked with the nature of the interfacial bond between the fibers and the matrix. Weakly bonded fiber-matrix intefaces allow an impinging matrix crack to be deflected such that the fracture process occurs through several stages: Crack deflection, debonding at the interface, fiber slip and pull-out, and ultimately fiber failure. Such a composite will fail in a graceful manner and exhibit substantial fracture toughness. Currently, carbon interface coatings are used to appropriately tailor interface properties, however their poor oxidation resistance has required a search of an appropriate replacement. Generally, metal oxides are inherently stable to oxidation and possess thermal expansion coefficients relatively close to those of Nicalon and SiC. However, the metal oxides must also be chemically compatible with the fiber and matrix. If the fiber/interface/matrix system is chemically compatible, then the interfacial bonding stress is influenced by the thermal residual stresses that are generated as the composite is cooled from processing to room temperature. In the current work, thermomechanical computational results were obtained from a finite element model (FEM) for calculating the thermal residual stresses. This was followed by experimental evaluation of Nicalon/SiC composites with carbon, alumina, and mullite interfacial coatings.
