    Abstract:

    Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites were fabricated via reactive melt infiltration (RMI) with stitched carbon fiber preform and Si-Zr alloy as reactants. The microstructure of Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites was analyzed by SEM-EDS and XRD. It can be concluded that SiC-ZrC ceramic matrix has uniform distribution in the Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites. Benefiting from the above matrix microstructure, the bending strength and modulus of Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites can reach up to 323.2 MPa and 46.6 GPa, respectively. The mass ablation rate and linear ablation rate of Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites with high ZrC content are 1.263 mg/s and 2.367 μm/s, respectively; and 2.056 μm/s and 5.067 mg/s for Cf/C-SiC-ZrC composites with less ZrC content, respectively. Cf/C-ZrC-SiC composites show good ablation resistance.
