Abstract
Boron-aluminum-nitride interface compositions and coatings for ceramic fibers used in ceramic matrix composites are provided. Also provided are methods for production of boron-nitride ceramic fibers.
Claims5
An interface composition or coating for ceramic fibers of ceramic matrix composites, said interface composition or coating comprising boron-aluminum-nitride.
A ceramic matrix composite comprising ceramic fibers coated with boron-aluminum nitride.
A method for coating a ceramic carbide fiber with boron-aluminum-nitride comprising
- (a) extracting metal from the ceramic carbide fiber to form a thin uniform carbon layer on the ceramic carbide fiber;
- and
- (b) transforming the carbon layer on the ceramic carbide fiber to boron-aluminum-nitride by reacting the carbon layer with boron and aluminum salts in the presence of ammonia and heat so that the carbon layer is consumed and the carbide fiber is coated with boron-aluminum-nitride.
