Abstract

Residual strains and stresses were measured in hot-pressed α-Al2O3 composites containing 25 wt% β (cubic) SiC whiskers with and without a 50-100Å thick carbon coating. X-ray diffraction methods were used including the separation of macrostresses from the microstresses in the -Al2O3 and SiC phases by the method of Noyan and Cohen. The presence of the carbon coating on the whiskers reduced the magnitude of the residual microstresses in the whiskers by ˜13% and in the matrix by ˜10%. The measured residual stresses in the whiskers and the reduction due to the carbon film were in good agreement with calculations from recent models proposed by Hsueh, Becher and Angelini, and by Li and Bradt.
