Benefits of technology

It is an object of the present invention to provide a silicon carbide fiber having a boron nitride layer, which is useful

Problems solved by technology

When the interfacial bonding of the fiber and the matrix is too large, cracks generated in the matrix easily spread into the fiber so that the material shows very brittle breakdown behavior and its strength and toughness become very low.
Generally, for example, as shown in Ceramic Engineering Science Proceedings 16 (4) (1995), p 405-416, the formation of boron nitride layer is carried out by using boron trichloride or boron trifluoride and ammonia as a raw material gas according to a chemical vapor deposition method (CVD method) However, the CVD method requires a special CVD device and the raw material gas is expensive and dangerous, so that it is a very high-cost process.
However, in the solution immersion method like above, it is very difficult to form a boron nitride layer having a uniform thickness on the surface of each fiber of a fiber bundle.
However, in the case of the above method, it is very difficult to make the boron homogeneously dispersed in the silicon carbide fiber move to the fiber surface by heat treatment.
However, the oxidation resistance of the fiber becomes worse as the boron amount in the silicon carbide fiber increases.
Further, according to the above document, the silicon carbide layer formed by the above method is arranged in a direction perpendicular to a fiber axis direction so that the boron nitride layer having such a structure can not be expected to exert a big effect as an interface layer for a ceramic-based composite material.

referential example 1

2.5 liters of anhydrous toluene and 400 g of metallic sodium were placed in a three-necked flask having a volume of 5 liters, the mixture was heated to the boiling point of toluene under a flow of nitrogen gas, and 1 liter of dimethyldichlorosilane was dropwise added over 1 hour. After the completion of the addition, the mixture was refluxed under heat for 10 hours to obtain a precipitate. The precipitate was recovered by filtration, and washed with methanol and then with water to give 420 g of a white powder polydimethylsilane.

250 g of the polydimethylsilane was placed in a three-necked flask equipped with a water-cooling refluxing device, and allowed to react under heat at 420° C. for 30 hours under a nitrogen flow, to obtain a polycarbosilane having a number average molecular weight of 1,200.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a silicon carbide fiber having boron nitride having function as an interface for a ceramic-based composite material in a fiber surface, and a process for the production thereof. Specifically, it relates to a silicon carbide fiber which has a slope constitution in which the existent ratio of boron slopingly increases towards the surface of the fiber. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Since ceramic-based composite materials obtainable by reinforcing ceramics with inorganic fibers have high toughness and high strength and are excellent in heat resistance, developments thereof are vigorously made. A SiC / SiC composite material obtainable by reinforcing a silicon carbide matrix with a silicon carbide fiber is one of the most promising materials in a high-temperature use. It is widely known that characteristics of an interface between the fiber and the matrix are very important for controlling the mechanical properties of the SiC / SiC com...
