Abstract
We measured the Raman spectrum associated with the E2‐TOquasi and LOquasi modes of 6H‐SiC particles as a function of hydrostatic pressure using a diamond anvil cell. The results of this calibration experiment were used to analyze the residual stress in 6H‐SiC particles within Al2O3/SiC composites with 12%, 20%, and 30% SiC by volume. The Raman spectra show that residual stress in the SiC near the surface of the composites is −2040 ± 120, −1841 ± 110, and −1615 ± 100 MPa for the 12%, 20%, and 30% SiC composites, respectively. The measured decrease in stress with increasing packing fraction is consistent with theoretical predictions based on micromechanics.
