Abstract
- This study investigates the degradation effects of high-temperature and humid oxygen environments on SiC/BN/SiC minicomposites, potential materials for aerospace and power generation applications. Monotonic tensile tests show minimal influence on initial modulus (E 1) and matrix cracking, but significant reductions in modulus (E 2) and failure strength occur at 1100 °C with 33% water vapor and 33% oxygen, while failure strain decreases at 1200 °C. Static fatigue tests reveal two groups based on service life: failure to reach 100 h at 900 °C and 1100 °C, and achieving 100 h at temperatures above 1200 °C. Key mechanisms affecting strength and life in wet oxygen environments are identified, including oxidative healing of matrix cracks, fiber degradation, and BN coating oxidation. This study provides valuable insights into minicomposite behavior in challenging conditions. • SiC/BN/SiC Minicomposites : Performance in harsh aerospace environments. • Temperature-Dependent Response : Minimal initial modulus effect, significant reductions at 1100 °C • Service Life Dependency : Static fatigue tests reveal temperature-dependent failure times. • Complex Degradation Mechanisms : Insights into oxidative healing, fiber degradation and BN coating oxidation.
