Abstract:

SiC ceramics fibers reinforced metal and ceramics composite materials have important application foreground in the area of space flight, inner wall of fusion reactor and new engine cylinders, The method[1] to fabricate SiC fibers by pyrolysis from organic polycarbosilane precursor fibers is an applicable technology, But oxygen must be used to cure the precursor fibers,and the residual SiO2 in the final SiC fibers seriously affect the high temperature resistant properties, In recent years, other curing methods[2] were explored to improve SiC fiber's properties, Previous results[3] showed that using electron beam to irradiate polycarbosilane fibers in various atmosphere.
