Abstract:
The implementation of SiC fiber reinforced SiC/SiC composites to aero-engine hot components has attracted wide attention, due to their many excellent properties. Along these lines, in order to predict the oxidation behavior of the material in extreme environments and to explore the effect of different preforms on the oxidative behavior of the composites, four SiC/SiC composites, with different preforms, were oxidized under environmental conditions of pressure of 12 kPa H2O:8 kPa O2:80 kPa Ar, at 1400 °C temperature. Moreover, the morphology and defect distribution of the samples were characterized by carrying out scanning electron microscopy, and micro-computed X-ray tomography measurements. Furthermore, the relation between the micro- and macro-scales was established, so as to be able to predict the oxidation behavior of the composites; not only the quantitative relationship between the mass change rate and the defect volume change rate, but also the combination of micro-computed X-ray images.
