摘要

Carbon fiber-reinforced zirconium carbide (Cf/ZrC) composites were fabricated using the reactive melt infiltration technique under high vacuum at temperatures of 2000°C and 2100°C. The density of the composite, its fiber volume fraction, and infiltration temperature play important roles in determining its mechanical properties and microstructure. Mechanical properties were investigated using a universal testing machine with a specific testing fixture at room temperature. The fabricated composite exhibited a maximum compressive strength of 185 MPa, flexural strength of 114 MPa, and fracture toughness of 4 MPa \(\sqrt m\) m . The microstructure of Cf/ZrC was determined using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.
