Effect of Oxidation on the Mechanical Properties of Nextel™ 312/BN/Blackglas™ Composites
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Preceramic polymers are attractive precursor materials for the production of low cost continuous fiber reinforced ceramic composites (CFCC) into near net shape components. Currently, CFCC components based upon a Blackglas™ matrix reinforced with Nextel™ 312 fibers with a BN rich surface layer are being investigated for gas turbine engine applications. The effects of oxidation on tensile and bend properties were investigated after exposure to flowing air at 600°C for 20–1000h. A significant reduction in the tensile properties accompanied by increases in fiber pull-out was observed after oxidation for 96 hours. After 500 hours oxidation, strength decreased by 50% relative to as-prepared composites. These results indicate that oxidation beyond 200 hours may be embrittling the composite.
