Abstract

Preceramic polymers are attractive precursor materials for the production of low cost continuous fiber reinforced ceramic composites (CFCC) into near net shape components. Currently, CFCC components based upon a Blackglas™ matrix reinforced with Nextel™ 312 fibers with a BN rich surface layer are being investigated for gas turbine engine applications. The effects of oxidation on tensile and bend properties were investigated after exposure to flowing air at 600°C for 20–1000h. A significant reduction in the tensile properties accompanied by increases in fiber pull-out was observed after oxidation for 96 hours. After 500 hours oxidation, strength decreased by 50% relative to as-prepared composites. These results indicate that oxidation beyond 200 hours may be embrittling the composite.
