β¦ Synopsis
Abstrad-Tensile
tests have been performed on carbon/carbon composites made from carbon cloths and a pyrolytic carbon matrix and their failure surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The load-extension curves are characterized by three distinct regions: the applied load needed to maintain a constant extention rate increases initially (region I), which is maintained at an almost constant level (region II), then the load increases again until the abrupt failure of the composite occurs (region III). Cracks are initiated in region II and the composite becomes deformed plastically before failure. Circumferential microcracks formed due to the thermal anisotropic contraction of the pyrolytic carbon matrix deviated the path of the advancing cracks and therefore increased the toughness of the composites. Fractography showed a terraced fracture surface in the matrix of the composites in which distinct circumferential microcracks are formed in front of the advancing cracks.

Early work on preparing carbon-carbon composites by using chemical vapor infiltration is discussed. Later work showed little influence of substrate on infiltration kinetics. and confirmed earlier relationships between property values and density.

The relations between chemical vapor deposition (CVD) parameters and the resultant pyrolytic carbon microstructures have been examined for matrix deposition in fibrous carbon substrates. The parameters considered are temperature (1200-145O"C), pressure (20-630 Torr), C/H ratio (l/4-1/14), total flow
