Silicon carbide (SiC), also known as carborundum (/ ˌ k ɑːr b ə ˈ r ʌ n d əm /), is a hard chemical compound containing silicon and carbon. A wide bandgap semiconductor , it occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite , but has been mass-produced as a powder and crystal since 1893 for use as an abrasive .
In this case, a SiC/SiC composite is made by having a SiC (silicon carbide) matrix phase and a fiber phase incorporated together by different processing methods. Outstanding properties of SiC/SiC composites include high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability while also providing high strength to weight ratio. [1]
Silicon carbide. Pure silicon carbide is one of the most corrosion-resistant materials. Only strong bases, oxygen above about 800 °C (1,470 °F), and molten metals react with it to form carbides and silicides. The reaction with oxygen forms SiO 2 and CO 2, whereby a surface layer of SiO 2 slows down subsequent oxidation (passive oxidation).
The compositions of PDCs most commonly include silicon carbide (SiC), silicon oxycarbide (SiO x C y), silicon nitride(Si 3 N 4), silicon carbonitride (Si 3+x N 4 C x+y) [2] and silicon oxynitride (SiO x N y). [3] The composition, phase distribution and structure of PDCs depend on the polymer precursor compounds used and the pyrolysis conditions ...

Silicon Carbide / Silicon Carbide (SiC/SiC) Matrix：CH 3 SiCl 3 (g) → SiC(s)+ 3 HCl(g) Interphase: CH 4 (g) → C(s)+ 2H 2 (g) The SiC fibers serve as a preform which is heated up to about 1000 °C in vacuum and then CH 4 gas is introduced into the preform as the interlayer between fiber and matrix. This process lasts for 70 minutes under ...
The F-16 Fighting Falcon uses monofilament silicon carbide fibers in a titanium matrix for a structural component of the jet's landing gear. Specialized Bicycles has used aluminum MMC compounds for its top of the range bicycle frames for several years. Griffen Bicycles also made boron carbide-aluminum MMC bike frames, and Univega briefly did so ...
AlSiC, pronounced "alsick", [1] is a metal matrix composite consisting of aluminium matrix with silicon carbide particles. It has high thermal conductivity (180–200 W/m K), and its thermal expansion can be adjusted to match other materials, e.g. silicon and gallium arsenide chips and various ceramics.
