Abstract
Low cost C/C-SiC composites were prepared through reactive melt infiltration with Si-Zr10 alloy infiltrant under different infiltration time. Effect of infiltration time on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composite were investigated. ZrC tended to be formed in the composite and the amount of carbon phase decreased with an extension in the infiltration time according to the X-ray diffraction results. Phase transformation of the C/C-SiC composite was analyzed based on C-Si-Zr phase diagram. Flexural strength of the composite prepared by preform 0.9 g/cm³ decreased with an increase in the infiltration time while that of the composite prepared by preform 1.38 g/cm³ increased initially and then decreased reversely. The highest flexural strength of the composite was found at about 324 MPa. Flexural strength of the composite is considered to depend on its phase composition and fiber-matrix interface.
