    Notes: The oxidation of SiC at 1200°C in a slowly flowing gas mixture of either air or air + 15 vol% H2O at 10 atm (1 MPa) was studied for extended times to examine the effects of elevated water-vapor pressure on oxidation rates and microstructural development. At a water-vapor pressure of 1.5 atm (150 kPa), distinct SiO2 scale structures were observed on the SiC; thick, porous, nonprotective cristobalite scales formed above a thin, nearly dense vitreous SiO2 layer, which remained constant in thickness with time as the crystalline SiO2 continued to grow. The pore morphology of the cristobalite layer differed depending on the type of SiC on which it was grown. The crystallization and growth rates of the cristobalite layer were significantly accelerated in the presence of the high water-vapor pressure and resulted in rapid rates of SiC surface recession that were on the order of what is observed when SiO2 volatility is rate controlling at high gas-flow velocities (30 m/s). The recession process can be described by a paralinear kinetic model controlled by the conversion of dense vitreous SiO2 to porous, nonprotective SiO2.

    Notes: Improvement in the thermal conductivity of aluminum nitride (AlN) can be realized by additives that have a high thermodynamic affinity toward alumina (Al2O3), as is clearly demonstrated in the aluminum nitride-yttria (AlN-Y2O3) system. A wide variety of lanthanide dopants are compared at equimolar lanthanide oxide:alumina (Ln2O3: Al2O3, where Ln is a lanthanide element) ratios, with samaria (Sm2O3) and lutetia (Lu2O3) being the dopants that give the highest- and lowest-thermal-conductivity AlN composites, respectively. The choice of the sintering aid and the dopant level is much more important than the microstructure that evolves during sintering. A contiguous AlN phase provides rapid heat conduction paths, even at short sintering times. AlN contiguity decreases slightly as the annealing times increase in the range of 1–1000 min at 1850°C. However, a substantial increase in thermal conductivity results, because of purification of AlN grains by dissolution-reprecipitation and bulk diffusion. Removal of grain-boundary phases, with a concurrent increase in AlN contiguity, occurs at high annealing temperatures or at long times and is a natural consequence of high dihedral angles (poor wetting) in liquidphase-sintered AlN ceramics.

    Notes: A new type of composite, which consists of a reinforcement phase plus a matrix composed of many alternate thin layers of two different materials, has been prepared. CVI appears to be an appropriate process for the fabrication of this class of materials. We have successfully fabricated such a composite using the forced flow—thermal gradient CVI process. A carbon fibrous preform was infiltrated with alternate layers of C and SiC having thicknesses of 0.01 to 0.5μm. For a fixed cycle time, layer thicknesses increased with distance from the fiber surface. Crack deflection patterns indicate that the laminated matrix may contribute to mechanical toughness.

    Notes: The lifetimes in air as a function of applied flexure stress and temperature (300–1150°C) are described for a Si–O–C based (Nicalon) fiber plain-weave cloth reinforced SiC-matrix composite (∼7% closed porosity) with an ∼0.3 µm thick carbon interfacial layer. The measured lifetimes of both samples with and without an external SiC seal coating were similar and decreased with applied flexural stress (for stresses greater than ∼90 MPa) and with temperature. At temperatures of ≥600°C, the external CVD SiC coating had negligible effect on the lifetimes; however, at 425°C, a detectable improvement in the lifetime was observed with an external SiC coating. When the applied stress was decreased below an apparent “threshold stress” (e.g., ∼90 MPa) for tests conducted at temperatures ≤950°C, no failures were observed for times of ≥1000 h. Electron microscopy observations show that the interfacial carbon layer is progressively removed during tests at 425° and 600°C. In these cases, failure is associated with fiber failure and pullout. At 950° and 1150°C, the carbon interface layer is eliminated and replaced by a thick silica layer due to the oxidation of the Nicalon fiber and the SiC matrix. This results in embrittling the composite.

    Notes: Nanophase-structured composites were fabricated by heat treating hot-pressed 2H-wurtzite SiC-AlN solid-solution specimens of 25, 50, and 75 mol% AlN within the spinodal decomposition zone. Heat-treatment conditions were 1750°C for 150 h, in flowing nitrogen gas. The hot-pressed specimens contained 2H-wurtzite equiaxed grains, and the grain size increased with AlN content. Lattice parameters followed Vegard's law. Nanoprecipitates with typical modulated tweed-type structures were observed along the [2110] zone axis and were orthogonal to the {0112} planes that make angles of 46.70°, 46.90°, and 47.11° to the [0001] for the three compositions. The microhardness, flexural strength, and fracture-toughness values of the heat-treated specimens were not significantly different from the hot-pressed values.

    Notes: A study of the exposure of SiC at 1200°C and high water-vapor pressures (1.5 atm) has shown SiC recession rates that exceed what is predicted based on parabolic oxidation at water-vapor pressures of less than or equal to ∼1 atm. After exposure to these conditions, distinct silica-scale structures are observed; thick, porous, nonprotective cristobalite scales form above a thin, dense silica layer. The porous cristobalite thickens with exposure time, while the thickness of the underlying dense layer remains constant. These observations suggest a moving-boundary phenomenon that is controlled by the rapid conversion of dense vitreous silica to a porous, nonprotective crystalline SiO2.

    Notes: The deposition of boron carbide (B13C2) onto graphite substrates was accomplished by using a hot-wall chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactor at a pressure of 10.1 kPa in the temperature range of 1000°–1400°C. A modified impinging-jet geometry was used to simplify the mass-transfer analysis. Coatings were characterized using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The surface morphology was composed of well-defined facets, the size of which was dependent on the growth rate and deposition time, as would be expected from a competitive growth mechanism. TEM micrographs of the coating showed long, columnar grains that emanated from a narrow nucleation zone. The growth rate could be adequately described by a first-order kinetic expression, with respect to the bulk gas phase boron chloride (BCl3) concentration. The activation energy of the kinetic expression was estimated to be 93.1 kJ/mol. It was proposed that the deposition was limited by the adsorption of (BCl3) onto the substrate surface.

    Notes: Microstructural characterization of boron-containing SiC-reinforced SiC composites exposed at high temperature in high-water-vapor-pressure environments was used to determine surface recession rates and to understand the controlling degradation processes under these conditions. Results showed that composite degradation was controlled by a series of reactions involving the formation of silica, boria, borosilicate glass, and gaseous products. Comparison of results (from characterization of composites exposed at 1200°C and 1.5 atm of H2O in a laboratory furnace and in the combustion zone of a gas turbine) showed that these reactions were common to both exposure conditions and, consequently, there was little effect of gas velocity on degradation rates of boron-containing SiC/SiC composite materials.

    Notes: Silicon carbide matrix composites have been fabricated from either ceramic-grade NicalonTM or Hi-NicalonTM fibers coated with an interface material consisting of six alternating carbon and silicon carbide layers. Initial efforts involved the use of chemical vapor infiltration to produce minicomposites (single tows of fibers). In subsequent work, forced-flow thermal-gradient chemical vapor infiltration was used to produce a single composite plate with a multilayer interface from ceramic-grade Nicalon fabric and two plates from Hi-Nicalon fabric, one with a single carbon layer and one with a multilayer interface. Tensile testing of the minicomposites and of specimens cut from the plates revealed typical composite behavior and strengths for the as-processed samples. Exposure of tensile specimens to 950°C air for 100 h resulted in large losses in strength and strain tolerance regardless of the interface coating. The results demonstrate that forced-flow thermal-gradient chemical vapor infiltration can be used to prepare multilayer interface material. The results also verified that relatively thick (〉100 nm) single or multiple carbon layers are susceptible to oxidation that causes the loss of composite properties.

    Notes: Hi-Nicalon/SiC minicomposite specimens containing three oxide interphase layers (amorphous SiO2, monoclinic ZrO2, and amorphous SiO2) were prepared by chemical vapor deposition. The minicomposites exhibited graceful composite failure behavior with reasonable load-carrying capability in room-temperature tensile tests. Much of the composite behavior and load-carrying capability was retained even after matrix precracking and subsequent oxidation in air at 960°C for 10 h. In both the as-prepared and oxidized specimens, crack deflection and fiber pull-out occurred preferentially within the multilayered interphase region. The potential merits and uncertainties associated with this multilayered oxide interphase approach were discussed in the context of designing environmentally durable interfaces for ceramic-matrix composites.
