Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mechanical properties of Nicalon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites with two different fiber lay-up sequences (0°/40°/60° and 0°/45°) were evaluated at various temperatures ranging from ambient to 1300°C. Composites with 0°/40°/60° fiber lay-up sequence showed a higher average first matrix cracking stress than that of 0°/45° composites. The measured room-temperature ultimate strength of the 0°/40°/60° composites was 300 MPa compared to 180 MPa for the 0°/45° composites. These measured ultimate strengths were correlated to the predictions made with an analytical model and to in-situ fiber strength characteristics. The large difference in room-temperature ultimate strengths between the two sets of composites is attributed to the relative contributions of the off-axis fibers to the load-bearing capacity of each composite. Up to 1200°C, ultimate strength and work-of-fracture in each set of composites increased, but then declined above 1300°C. The decreases were correlated to in-situ Nicalon fiber strength and fiber/matrix interface degradation.
