Abstract

The SiC coatings were fabricated by the pyrolysis of polycarbosilane (PCS)/aluminum, in which PCS acts as precermaic precursor of SiC and aluminum (Al) powder acts as an active filler to both compensate the volume shrinkage of SiC coatings during pyrolysis and enhance the adhesion of SiC coatings with Fecralloy substrate. SiC coatings as thick as ~35 μm without cracking can be fabricated through our approach. Microstructural analysis revealed that the SiC coatings were composed of α-Al2O3 and β-SiC. Hardness and modulus of the SiC coatings as measured by nano-indentation were 12.2 ± 4.0 and 153.7 ± 47.0 GPa, respectively.
