Abstract
A novel SiCN ternary phase was introduced into porous Si3N 4 preform by chemical vapor infiltration from SiCl4-C 3H6-NH3-H2-Ar, which was used to fabricate Si3N4-SiCN composite ceramics. SiCN was composed of amorphous Si3N4 matrix and crystalline SiC nano-particles (with a homogeneous size of ~5 nm) uniformly distributed in amorphous matrix. This distinctive microstructure made the Si3N 4-SiCN ceramics not only maintain a high flexural strength of 227 MPa but realize a low dielectric constant and a high dielectric loss, which led to a minimal electromagnetic wave reflection coefficient of -42.6 dB, ranking the best level in the already-reported structural and wave-absorbing ceramic materials for high-temperature applications.
