Abstract
AbstractCarbon fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites (C/C‐SiC composites) were fabricated using a type of high‐char‐yield phenolic resin with the char yield of 81.17 wt.%. Firstly, the fabric prepreg was prepared by spreading the phenolic resin solution onto the two dimensional carbon fiber plain weave fabric and dried consequently. Afterward, the resin was cured and then the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) was pyrolyzed to get amorphous carbon. Finally, C/C‐SiC composites were obtained through liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) process. SEM micrographs showed that the Si/SiC area was homogeneously dispersed in the matrix, and during the siliconization process, a layer of SiC was formed along the surface of carbon fibers or carbon matrix. The fiber volume of CFRP was about 40 vol.%, which was much lower than other studies. XRD result indicated that only β‐SiC type was formed. The result of X‐ray computed tomography clearly showed the structure changes before and after the melt infiltration process. Mechanical property test showed that the composites had fracture strength of 186 ± 23 MPa, and a flexural modulus of 106 ± 8 GPa.
