Abstract:SiC coatings were prepared on the surface and inside of porous low-density C/C composites by chemical vapor phase reaction using Si and SiO2 powders as raw materials. MoSi2 powder was used as raw materials to reactive infiltrate C/C composites and C/C composites with SiC interface layer to obtain MoSi2 modified C/C composites. The microstructure of the composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysis. The bending strength of the material was tested by Instron 3369 mechanical testing machine. The results show that compared with the Si-Mo modified C/C composite prepared by MoSi2 direct infiltration, the SiC coating prepared before infiltration can effectively reduce the porosity of the SiC/C composite and obtain more compact Si-Mo modified C/C composite. The density of composites increases from 2.93 g/cm3 to 3.20 g/cm3, the open porosity decreases from 10.77% to 4.07%; the flexural strength increases from 87 MPa to 121 MPa. The content of SiC and MoSi2 in composites is higher. The composites exhibit pseudoplastic fracture behavior.
