Abstract

In this study, the SiC/SiC-SiYC composites were fabricated via chemical vapor infiltration (CVI) combined with the reactive melt infiltration (RMI) process. The excellent infiltration of Si-Y alloy assisted in fabricating composites with a density of 2.94 g/cm3 and a porosity of only 2.0%. After 20 h of corrosion at 1300 °C in the water-oxygen environment, the generated oxide layer, consisting of a glass layer and a diffusion layer, effectively protected the composites, and the flexural strength retention is 114.2%. This study highlights the significant potential of Si-Y alloy as a modification phase that is resistant to water and oxygen. It also presents a novel approach for developing high-density ceramic matrix composites that are resistant to water-oxygen corrosion.
