The monoclinic celsian phase in the matrix was produced in situ, during hot pressing, from amphosous BAS. The unidirectional composites having ≈20 vol% of fibers exhibited graceful failure with extensive fiber pullout in three point bend tests at room temperature. Values of ultimate flexural strength and fracture toughness were 379MPa and 8 3MPa·m 1/2 , respectively.展开更多

The microstructure of the material was observed and analyzed using XRD, SEM, and TEM and the mechanical response of this array microstructure was characterized for flexural strength and fracture behavior. The result shows that the growth of the larger aspect ratio grains initiate mainly from the seeds through the heterogeneous nucleation mechanism during the process of phase transformation, and the intergranular phase BaAl2Si20s services as good refractory materials. In contrast to conventional processing, a stable bimodal microstructure and complicated component with a lower cost can be achieved using the abovementioned process theoretically and practically.展开更多

The transformation from hexacelsian to celsian, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was investigated. The results show that the transformation promoted by adding celsian seeds is retarded in the composite by the presence of SiC whisker. SiC whisker has a good effect of improving the mechanical properties of BAS glass ceramic matrix. The toughening mechanisms are crack deflection and whisker fracture. The strengthening mechanism is loading transition. The amorphous phase at SiC W/BAS matrix interface damages the fracture toughness and high temperature strength of the composites.展开更多
