Abstract

Abstract: The limitations of single-phase silicon carbide ceramics in fracture toughness and reliability restrict their applications in severer environments.This review summarized recent research progress on silicon carbide-based composites,including particle reinforcement,whisker reinforcement,and fiber reinforcement,focusing on the toughening mechanisms of different reinforcements,the corresponding preparation processes,and their influence on the final properties.The future development directions of silicon carbide-based composites were also prospected.

Key words: silicon carbide-based composites, reinforcement technology, mechanical properties, preparation process

摘要： 单一相碳化硅陶瓷在断裂韧性和可靠性方面的局限性限制了其在更苛刻环境中的应用。综述了近年来碳化硅基复合材料在颗粒增强、晶须增强及纤维增强等方面的研究进展,重点讨论了不同增强体的增韧机制、相应制备工艺及其对最终性能的影响,最后对碳化硅基复合材料未来的发展方向进行了展望。
