研究目的
Investigating the effects of initial density during laser machining assisted CVI process and its influence on the strength of C/SiC composites.
研究成果
The lower the initial density while laser machining, the better the properties of final composites. This finding provides a better and simple method to prepare high performance C/SiC composites.
研究不足
The study focuses on the effects of initial density on the final properties of C/SiC composites after LA-CVI process, but does not explore the effects of other potential variables such as laser machining parameters or CVI process conditions.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed laser-assisted chemical vapor infiltration (LA-CVI) technique to improve the density and strength of carbon fiber reinforced SiC composites (C/SiC). Two different initial densities (
2:5 and 8 g/cm3) of C/SiC composites were prepared and processed with laser machining followed by CVI process. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The specimens were prepared via LA-CVI technique with initial densities of
3:5 g/cm3 and 8 g/cmList of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM, S4800, Hitachi) was used for microstructure characterization. Three-point bending strength was evaluated using INSTRON 5567 testing system. Microcomputed tomography (microCT, Y. Cheetah, YXLON, Germany) was used for detailed microstructure characteristics and density distribution.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The composites were prepared via LA-CVI technique, followed by testing of apparent density and open porosity using Archimedes’ method. Microstructure and bending strength were characterized and evaluated.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The bending strength was computed using a specific equation based on loading force, span, width, and height of the test bar.
