Abstract
Thermal stresses induced during cooling from temperatures used for coating deposition were calculated for various fiber-coating systems. Systems under study include several types of carbon, alumina, and zirconia fibers. Coatings considered were TiB2, Si3N4, and SiC. Typical calculated stresses were on the order of 0 to 2 GPa. The results were used to analyze the effects of variable physical parameters such as coating thickness and crystallographic orientation on the stress levels. Each fiber-coating system was then compared using a nominal coating thickness of 5 μm in order to rank the various fiber-coating combinations. Among the results obtained, it was shown that orientation of deposited coatings usually leads to higher tensile stresses.
