Tensile properties of unidirectional BN/SiC coated Hi-Nicalon fiber reinforced celsian matrix composites [36-37] from room temperature to 1200°C in air are shown in Table 6, The value of Young s modulus decreased with increase in test temperature indicating the presence of glassy phase in the matrix. The yield stress decreased from room temperature...

On heat treatment, both hexacelsian and monoclinic celsian phases crystallize in BAS glass [23-25]. Also, hot pressing of barium aluminosilicate (BAS) glass or its composites reinforced with large diameter silicon carbide SCS-6 monofilaments or small diameter multifilament Nicalon or Hi-Nicalon fibers resulted in the crystallization of both hexacelsian andmonoclinic celsian phases [12]. On doping BAS with 5 wt.% monoclinic celsian seeds or 10 wt.% strontium aluminosilicate (SAS), only the celsian phase was formed in hot pressed... 

Hi-Nicalon/Celsian composites are stable up to use temperature of 1100°C in oxidizing environments and degrade at higher temperatures due to the instability of polymer-derived fibers. The stability of Celsian matrix composites may be extended to higher temperatures by more uniform and stable interface coating(s) and by reinforcement with more advanced silicon carbide fiber (Sylramic) for applications as hot components (combustion liner, air foil, nozzle, etc.) in turbine engines.
