Mechanical properties degradation and microstructure evolution of 2D-SiCf / SiC composites in combustion gas environment

Abstract

Based on the turbine high-temperature combustion gas simulation test platform, the long-term combustion gas environment exposure test of the 2D plain woven SiCf/BN/SiC composites under two combustion conditions was carried out. Uniaxial tensile test, fracture morphology characterization and non-destructive testing analysis revealed the degradation and microstructure evolution of composites after exposure to combustion gas environment. The results show that the degradation of 2D-SiCf/SiC composites after exposure to combustion gas environment is manifested as a decrease in static toughness, and the interphase transition is the mesoscopic cause of the decrease in static toughness of the composite.
