Abstract

Residual strains in a hot-pressed α-Al2O3/25 wt % β-SiC (whisker) composite were determined at temperatures from 25 to 1000°C in 250°C increments. The data collected from the (146) reflections of Al2O3 and the (511+333) reflections of SiC whiskers indicates that residual strains in both phases decrease linearly with temperature; the composite's extrapolated zero-strain temperature is determined to be 1471°C and comparable to the value ~1350 °C obtained by Majumdar et al. from neutron data. The lattice thermal expansion of the whiskers agrees well with literature, data for the monolithic β-SiC form.
