Abstract

The processing of carbon fiber-reinforced ceramic matrix composites (CMC) made by the precursor impregnation and pyrolysis (PIP) method was improved, and factors which deteriorate the thermal stability of the CMC were investigated. The processing time for cross-linking of a precursor polymer was substantially reduced by the application of a sealed metal container due to the suppression of the vaporization of oligomers. The strength of the as-fabricated CMC was 286 MPa and 77% of the original strength was retained after a heating at 1350 °C for 24 h in Ar. The reduction of the strength after the heating was due to the decomposition of SiO2 which remained at the surface of the SiC filler particles. The decomposition reaction induced deterioration of carbon fibers and the matrix of the CMC at high temperature.
