Chemical Vapor Impregnation Research Articles

Entwicklung von Siliciumcarbid‐Verbundwerkstoffen

AbstractDevelopment of silicon carbide composites. This paper describes the production of fibre‐reinforced SiC composites applying the methods of chemical vapour impregnation (CVI), reaction bonding by liquid silicon impregnation (RB‐SiC), and impregnation with subsequent polymerisation and thermal decomposition of organosilicon compounds. The chemical and physical fundamentals of these processes are discussed. Composites of different fibre/matrix combinations are introduced; the most promising combinations can be selected from the experimental results presented.
