Abstract

Dense silicon carbide-based ceramic composites reinforced with SiCf fiber have been produced by hot pressing at a temperature of 1850°C. The reinforcing agent used was silicon carbide fiber produced by siliciding carbon cloth with SiO vapor. It has been shown that raising fiber content from 1 to 7 wt % increases the density, bending strength, and fracture toughness of the material, which reach ρ = 3.20 ± 0.01 g/cm3, δb = 450 ± 26 MPa, KIс = 5.6 ± 0.1 MPa m1/2 at 7 wt % SiC fiber.
