摘要:
AbstractThe application of chemical vapour deposition and physical vapour deposition coatings, either singly or in combination, onto SiC fibres is discussed in terms of their ability to enhance the high temperature stability of Ti–SiC composites. The thermal stability and success of potential barrier layers was assessed by studying the fibre-matrix interdiffusion and measurement of the mechanical properties of individual fibres following coating and thermal exposure. Measurements of the level of strength retention have proved to be a reliable method of assessing the effectiveness of potential diffusion barriers. Failures may result from one of three sources. For high strength fibres failures are SiC–core reaction zone initiated, for intermediate strength fibres failures are surface defect (SiC) initiated and for low strength fibres, failures are fibre–matrix reaction zone or coating initiated. To ensure high strength (i.e. core failures) it is essential that a carbon layer is retained at the SiC surface. The most successful barriers have been shown to be TiB2and PtAl2coatings preventing outward diffusion of carbon and minimising the interaction with the titanium matrix. From these results a life prediction model has been developed based on the fibre–coating interaction, which will predict fibre strength as a function of time at a given temperature.MST/3001
