ABSTRACT
Creep and fatigue tests of Hi-NicalonTM/SiC (SiC matrix contains glass-forming, boron-based particulates), Standard SiC/SiC (SiC matrix is pure SiC) and Enhanced SiC/SiC (SiC matrix contains glass-forming, boron-based particulates) were carried out in air at 1300°C. The stress–strain hysteresis loops during fatigue and creep were studied. The change of Young’s modulus during creep and fatigue was analysed and compared among the three kinds of materials. Creep strain rates of Hi-NicalonTM/SiC in air were similar to those of Enhanced SiC/SiC, but much lower than those of Standard SiC/SiC. Consequently, the time to rupture at a given stress in Hi-NicalonTM/SiC was similar to that in Enhanced SiC/SiC, but much longer than in Standard SiC/SiC. Fatigue resistance of Hi-NicalonTM/SiC was similar to that of Enhanced SiC/SiC, but much better than Standard SiC/SiC.
