Abstract
Layered multi-material ceramics are natural candidates for modern engineering applications due to their attractive mechanical properties. Residual stresses caused, for example, by a thermal mismatch during the processing of these materials can significantly affect their mechanical properties. In this work, Raman investigations were performed to estimate these residual stresses in layered reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) and reaction-bonded boron carbide (RBBC) composites fabricated by robocasting. The Raman measurements show that the residual stress in the silicon phase of RBSC and RBBC composites has a different sign, which can explain the crack formation that occurred after Si infiltration. To adjust the stresses and prevent this cracking, a new paste composition was investigated. SEM micrographs and Raman measurements showed that almost crack-free layered composites with similar stresses in the different layers could be realized. In addition, well-known analytical approaches were used to calculate these residual stresses.
