Tribological Behavior of Silicon Carbide Ceramics - A Review

Mechanisms of High-Temperature Fatigue in Silicon Carbide Ceramics

produce a composite, which is typically accomplished by incorporating continuous fibers, whiskers, platelets, or second The high-temperature mechanical properties of an in situ phase particles (3). For monolithic ceramics, in situ toughening toughened silicon carbide, with Al, B and C sintering additives can also be effective with microstructures consisting of elongated (ABC-Sic), have been exa...

Oxidation Behaviour of Silicon Carbide - a Review

Silicon Carbide as an inorganic material possesses properties like high thermochemical stability, high hardness and fracture toughness, low thermal expansion coefficient etc. It is therefore, widely used in the making of refractory, semiconductor devices, combustion engines, etc. Being a nonoxide, it has a tendency to get oxidized at elevated temperature under oxidizing atmosphere. Oxidation of...

Finite Element Modeling of the Vibrational Behavior of Single-Walled Silicon Carbide Nanotube/Polymer Nanocomposites

The multi-scale finite element method is used to study the vibrational characteristics of polymer matrix reinforced by single-walled silicon carbide nanotubes. For this purpose, the nanoscale finite element method is employed to simulate the nanotubes at the nanoscale. While, the polymer is considered as a continuum at the larger scale. The polymer nanotube interphase is simulated by spring ele...

A review of silicon carbide development in MEMS applications

Due to its desirable material properties, Silicon Carbide (SiC) has become an alternative material to replace Si for Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) applications in harsh environments. To promote SiC MEMS development towards future cost-effective products, main technology areas in material deposition and processes have attracted significant interest. The developments in these areas have c...
