SiC fibre by chemical vapour deposition on tungsten filament
R V Krishnarao J Subrahmanyam S Subbarao
A CVD system for the production of continuous SiC fibre was set up. The process of SiC coating on 19 𝜇m diameter tungsten substrate was studied. Methyl trichloro silane (CH3SiCl3) and hydrogen reactants were used. Effect of substrate temperature (1300–1500°C) and concentration of reactants on the formation of SiC coating were studied. SiC coatings of negligible thickness were formed at very low flow rates of hydrogen (5 × 10–5 m3/min) and CH3SiCl3 (1.0 × 10–4 m3/min of Ar). Uneven coatings and brittle fibres were formed at very high concentrations of CH3SiCl3 (6 × 10–4 m3/min of Ar). The flow rates of CH3SiCl3 and hydrogen were adjusted to get SiC fibre with smooth surface. The structure and morphology of SiC fibres were evaluated.

High temperature C/C–SiC composite by liquid silicon infiltration: a literature review
Manish Patel Kumar Saurabh V V Bhanu Prasad J Subrahmanyam
The ceramic matrix carbon fibre (CMC) reinforced composite has received great attention for use in aerospace engineering. In aerospace, the atmosphere is highly oxidative and experiences very high temperature. In addition to this, the materials require high thermal stability and high abrasion resistance in that atmosphere. The C/C–SiC composite meets with these requirements. In this paper, the C/C–SiC composite by liquid silicon infiltration is reviewed thoroughly.
