Abstract

Abstract The BN interphase of SiC fiber-reinforced SiC matrix (SiCf/SiC) composites was fabricated by dip-coating process with boric acid and urea as precursor. The results show that the tensile strength of SiC fiber decreases about 30% after BN coating treatment, but the BN coating has little influence on the electrical resistivity of SiC fiber. Compared with the as-received SiCf/SiC composites, the SiCf/SiC composites with BN interphase exhibit a toughened fracture behavior, and the flexural strength is about 2 times that of the as-received SiCf/SiC composites. From the microstructural analysis, it can be confirmed that the BN interphase plays a key part in weakening interfacial bonding, which can improve the mechanical properties of SiCf/SiC composites remarkably. Owing to the close dielectric properties between SiC and BN, the complex permittivity of SiCf/SiC composites with and without the BN interphase is similar.
