Process Development for Silicon Carbide Based Structural Ceramics
Abstract
A program is underway to develop a process for making shaped silicon carbide base structural ceramics with reduced microstructural flaw size by in situ reaction of silicon with fine, ultra-uniform pored carbon skeletons that are produced from liquid polymer solutions without particulate additions. Thus far, very uniform carbon skeletons in two pore sizes (2.5 and 0.27 microns) have been produced and siliconized. Very uniform samples of approx 1 cm cross section have been produced in a silicon carbide material of approx 5 microns average size. Limited regions of material with carbide size less than 1 micron have also been produced.
