Abstract: Three-dimensional braided carbon fiber(3D-BCf )reinforced silicon carbide(SiC) composites were fabricated via precusor infiltration and phyrolysis using polycarbosilane.The density and mechanical properties of 3D-BCf/SiC could be increased markedly if the first pyrolysis cycle was assisted by hot-pressing.The flexural strength and the fracture toughness of the composite ‚which was hot-pressed at1600℃ for60min with a pressure of 10 MPa in the first pyrolysis cycle and treated subsequently with five cycles of vacuum infiltration and pyrolysis under atmospheric pressure‚were564MPa and16.0MPa·m1/2‚respectively.The effect of processing on microstructure and properties was discussed.

Keywords: silicon carbide‚polymer pyrolysis‚hot press‚three-dimensional braided carbon fiber‚ceramic matrix composites
