Abstract

A technique has been developed by which the bond strength and interfacial friction can be directly measured in ceramic composites. Sections of SiC/C/Nicalon composite are, thinned to as low as 35 μm and individual fibers are pushed out of the composite while accurate load displacement data is taken. Such a technique has been applied to composite sections irradiated to 1 dpa at 300°C in HFIR. The interfacial properties were found to be directly related to the composite strength and type of composite failure.
