Reactive Forming of SiC Reinforced MoSi2 Composites.

Casting of SiC Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites

Composites based on two aluminium alloys (A536 and 6061) reinforced with 10% or 20% volume fraction of SiC particles were produced by gravity casting and a novel two-step mixing method was applied successfully to improve the wettability and distribution of the particles. The SiC particles were observed to be located predominantly in the interdendrit ic regions, and a thermal lag model is propos...

Application of Electrophoretic Deposition for Interfacial Control of High-Performance SiC Fiber-Reinforced SiC Matrix (SiCf/SiC) Composites

This chapter reviews the novel fabrication process of continuous SiCf /SiC composites based on electrophoretic deposition (EPD). EPD process is very effective for achieving relatively homogeneous carbon coating with the thickness of several tens to hundreds nanometers on SiC fibers. Carbon interface with the thickness of at least 100 nm formed by EPD acts effectively for inducing interfacial de...

Synthesis and Sintering of Ti3SiC2–SiC Composites through Reactive Hot-Pressing of TiC and Si Precursors

MAX phases are an attractive class of layered solids that have recently attracted a great deal of attention due to their unusual and unique composition. The ternary compound Ti3SiC2 is an example of a material that combines the properties of ceramics and metals. As a ceramic, they are high stiff. Some of them are resistant to oxidation, creep, fatigue, corrosion. They are extremely refractory a...
