The tension-tension fatigue tests for SiC/SiC composites were performed under the conditions that the maximum load Pmax was 80-90% to the fracture load of the tensile tests and the stress ratio was Rσ = 0.5. The composites exhibited a width in stress-strain hysteresis loop under one load cycling. In some cases the mean strain εmean gradually increase with increasing in number of cycles. These variations would reflect the developments of the fatigue damage at the fiber/matrix interface during the cyclic loading process. The pull-out lengths of the fibers for the fatigued- and not fatigued-specimens were measured through the SEM observations after the tensile test. In all materials, the average pull-out length of fibers in fatigued material was larger than in not fatigued material because the cyclic loading affected on the fiber/matrix interfacial strength.

The corrosion behaviors of SiC/SiC composite constituent materials in pure water at operating conditions, such as 300 °C and 8.5 MPa, were studied for potential application in accident-tolerant light water reactor (LWR) fuel cladding and core structures. Five kinds of SiC fibers, four kinds of SiC matrices, and three kinds of fiber/matrix interphase materials were examined in autoclaves. The potential constituent materials for future use in SiC/SiC composites were selected by considering corrosion rates and residual strength characteristics. The mass changes and the residual strength of each specimen were measured. SEM images of the surface layers were also inspected. The SiC fibers, regardless of their purity, crystallinity or stoichiometric ratio, decreased in strength due to the hydrothermal corrosion. For its part, the hydrothermal corrosion resistance of CVD-SiC, as a SiC matrix, was found to be affected by manufacturing conditions such as raw material gas type and synthesis temperature, as well as post-machining morphology. The CVD-carbon (CVD-C), as a fiber/matrix interphase material, showed good hydrothermal corrosion resistance. In order to protect the SiC fibers and the SiC matrices from hydrothermal corrosion, it would appear to be necessary to apply a dense CVD-C coating to both every fiber and the entire surface of the SiC matrices.

ABSTRACTA methodology is described for protecting Carbon-Carbon fiber-matrix composite (C-C) components from oxidation for extended use in oxidizing ambients for lifetimes of the order of 10,000 hours, from room temperature to 650°C. This time-temperature profile is relevant to applications such as airborne heat exchangers. Weight changes of oxidation-protected, pitch-fiber based C-C coupons in flowing dry air at 650°C are presented. Two types of external protective approaches are compared: (a) multi-phase, borophosphate-based fluidizing overseal coatings applied directly to C-C, and (b) the same overseal coatings applied to CVD SiOxCy coated C-C. The latter, dual-coating approach provides an effective engineering solution for the above temperature-time profile and is particularly applicable to thin (0.1–3 mm thick), complex-shaped articles. The behavior of inert substrates (oxidized silicon) with the same overseal coatings is compared to the behavior of the C-C substrates. This approach can be applied with optional modifications to suit other environmental conditions, and other carbon-containing materials, such as carbon foams and C-SiC composites.
