Abstract

Continuous silicon carbide fiber reinforced silicon carbide (SiCf/SiC) ceramic matrix composites are considered promising materials as high-temperature components of advanced aero-engines. However, due to their susceptibility to oxidation and corrosion at high temperature, environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) must be applied on the surface of SiCf/SiC. In this study, Si/Y2SiO5/LaMgAl11O19 (LMA) multi-layer EBCs were fabricated to protect SiCf/SiC by using atmospheric plasma spraying (APS). The high-temperature tensile fatigue performance of SiCf/SiC with and without EBCs was evaluated. The results indicated that EBCs significantly improved the tensile fatigue properties of SiCf/SiC at high temperature in air atmosphere. Meanwhile the bending strength of specimens after isothermal aging or not was also tested. The multi-layer EBCs in this study may be a promising EBCs system for SiCf/SiC after some improvements.
