Effects of pressure and thermal exposure on the Ti/SiC/C composites produced by continuous binder-powder coating

The effects of the pressure and temperature on the Ti/SiC/C composites produced by continuous binder-powder coating were studied. The results showed that during processing, densification occurs by several mechanisms including a complex elasto-viscoplastic flow and diffusion bonding. These composite materials exhibit good matrix consolidation and weak interaction between matrix and fiber, without porosity.
