Abstract
AbstractBoron nitride has been identified as a good fiber/matrix interface coating for SiC fibers in a Si3N4 matrix. Boron nitride thin films prepared from BCl3 and NH3 at 1000°C and from B2 H6 and NH3 at 550°C were deposited on SiC (Nicalon®) cloth in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor. The coating thickness was varied from 0.1 μm up to 4 μm. Six layers of cloth for each coating thickness were incorporated into a chemical vapor infiltrated matrix of amorphous Si3N4.Flexural strength data and composite toughness were obtained from three-point bend tests. Scanning electron microscopy and metallographic analysis of fracture surface morphology were used to determine the failure mode.
