Abstract
X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed to investigate the phase transformation of Reaction-Bonded SiC/Si composites (RB-SiC/Si) induced by micro-grinding. The results showed that amorphization (High Pressure Phase Transformation, HPPT) occurred for both SiC and Si phases in the outmost layer, and the amorphization degree dropped as the feed rate changed from 3mm/min to 0.1mm/min. Moreover, we firstly found that recrystallization of amorphized Si appeared in preferred orientation under grinding. Specifically, preferred Si(111) growth occurred at a lower feed rate attributed to the more obvious annealing effect, while preferred Si(220) recrystallization developed at higher feed rate due to the greater strain. Theoretical analysis based on the crystal structure of Si yield good consistence.
