Abstract

The microstructure and mechanical properties of CVI-Cansas-III/PyC/SiC composites were systematically investigated after heat treatment under high temperature argon atmosphere, ranging from 1000 °C to 1500 °C, for different time durations. The results showed that the Cansas-III fibres degraded with increasing heat treatment temperature, resulting in degradation of the fibre properties due to pyrolysis of the SiOC phase inside the fibres. The bending strength of the composites remained nearly constant upon heat treatment at 1000 °C and 1250 °C, while a decline in bending strength was observed upon increasing the heat treatment temperature and time, specifically at 1350 °C and above. Moreover, the composites maintained their pseudo-plastic fracture behaviour below 1450 °C, while displaying brittle fracture of the ceramic after 100 h of heat treatment at 1500 °C, due to the complete crystallisation of the fibres.
