Abstract
Siliconized silicon carbide composites are candidate materials for ceramic components in gas turbines and heat exchangers (1,2). Properties which make these materials suited for these applications are good oxidation resistance, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and adequate mechanical strength (1,3). Siliconized silicon carbide is a two-phase material whose microstrue ture consists of interpenetrating phases of silicon and silicon carbide. The silicon phase is dispersed throughout the continuous silicon carbide phase in either a continuous or non-continuous matrix, depending upon the amount of free silicon in the material.
