Abstract
- In this paper, the process deformation of 2D SiC/SiC composite materials in the pyrolysis stage of precusor infiltration and pyrolysis process (PIP) is investigated experimentally and computationally through a multiscale study. The pyrolysis process of PCS was described by a kinetic model. The intrinsic properties and behaviors of pyrolysed PCS were characterized experimentally. The macroscopic properties and behaviors of 2D-SiC/SiC composite materials were obtained through the homogenization method. The proposed methodology can successfully predict the process deformation of an L-shaped 2D SiC/SiC composite structure in cyclic PIP process. It is revealed that the pyrolysis of precusor can generate significant chemical shrinkage and stiffness variation, leading to the process deformation of the entire composite structure. Unlike the precusor, the variation of properties and behaviors of composite materials are anisotropic. Furthermore, the cyclic process and the evolution of matrix composition complicate the process deformation. The behavior of composite material is dominated by pyrolysing PCS at first several cycles whereas by pyrolysed SiC at last several cycles. The fundamental understating on process deformation in this paper may benefit the design and the manufacture of SiC/SiC composite materials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
