Abstract

Pseudo-unidirectional composites made of SiC Nicalon fibers and LAS glass-ceramic matrix were obtained via a low temperature sol-gel/hot pressing route. The fibers have been coated with a thin layer of pyrocarbon in order to promote fiber pull out. The elastic constant Cij matrix and engineering elastic moduli at room temperature were derived from US wave propagation experiments. The failure strength was measured for different processing conditions through three point bending testing. The failure energy and dynamic toughness were calculated from instrumented CHARPY test data. Thermal expansion experiments were performed on both unreinforced LAS matrix and SiC/LAS composites.
