Abstract

SiC/SiC composites reinforced with 3rd generation SiC fibers (Hi-Nicalon S and Tyranno SA3 fibers) are promising candidates for thermomechanical applications in high technology industries. Both composites exhibited a pseudo-ductile mechanical behavior but the HNS/PyC/SiC composite reaches higher failure strains than TSA3/PyC/SiC ones. The mechanical behavior of SiC/SiC composites is linked to the way PyC is bonded to the fiber surface. Analyses have shown that these interactions and the Fiber/Matrix debonding behavior depend strongly on the nature of the carbon on the SiC fiber surface, which is different according to the SiC fiber. In order to understand the mechanism governing the chemical adhesion at the PyC/SiC fiber interface, the formation, the chemistry and the structure of the surface carbon layer were studied. Understanding the origin of this carbon has allowed elucidating the local interaction mechanisms of the studied SiC/SiC composites.
