Description:
A suitable interphase material for non-oxide ceramic-matrix composites must be resistant to oxidation. This means it must exhibit a slow rate of oxidation, and its oxidation product must be such as to ensure that the system survives oxidation when it does occur. Because the current benchmark interphase materials, carbon and boron nitride, lack these qualities, a porous fiber coating was developed to satisfy both the mechanical and oxidative requirements of an interphase for the SiC/SiC and SiC/Si2N4 composites that are of interest to NASA. This report presents the interphase microstructure achieved and the resulting characteristics of fiber push-out from a matrix of reaction-bonded silicon nitride (RBSN), both as-fabricated and after substantial annealing and oxidation treatments.
