Abstract

Carbon fibre reinforced C and SiC binary ceramic matrix composites (C/C–SiC) were fabricated by a quick and low cost reactive melt infiltration (RMI) method with Si–Zr25 and Si melts. Effects of zirconium addition in infiltrated Si melt on microstructure and ablation resistance of the composite were investigated. The composite by Si–Zr25 melt infiltration was composed of SiC, ZrC, C and a little amount of ZrSi2 without residual silicon, overcoming the problem of residual silicon in C/C–SiC composite by Si RMI. Compared with the composite by Si melt infiltration, the ablation resistance of the composite by Si–Zr25 was greatly improved by zirconium addition due to ZrO2 and SiO2 protecting layer formed during ablation.
