Abstract

Abstract: A phase field model based on strongly coupled thermo-mechano-diffusion-reactional theory was proposed to study the effect of hot-pressing sintering fabrication process on growth law of intermetallic compounds in the continuous silicon carbide fiber reinforced titanium matrix composites. The simulation results show that the thickness of each interface reaction layer is consistent with the experiment at two different temperatures. Further research shows that the applied load can promote the growth of interface reaction layer, but the growth of Ti₅Si₃ layer is significantly inhibited, which has the lowest tensile strength. With the increase of applied load, the circumferential stress changes from tension to compression. The thickness of Ti₃SiC₂ layer increases with temperature rising, which has the maximum fracture toughness, as well as the thickness of the total interface reaction layer and Ti₅Si₃ layer are also increased. Therefore, it is an important way to improve the mechanical properties of SiC_f/Ti composites by properly increasing the pressure and selecting the appropriate temperature in the preparation process to obtain the interface reaction layer with the appropriate thickness, meanwhile, making the Ti₅Si₃ layer thinner and the Ti₃SiC₂ layer thicker as far as possible.
